Extract

Three years ago I published (B.S.A. viii. 192, Pl. IV.2) a fragmentary relief from Cyzicus representing two lions back to back, standing over two bulls, the whole forming a symmetrical ‘heraldic’ composition. While attempting to connect the group with the worship of Cybele Adrasteia, I overlooked at the time an article of Mr. Crowfoot's having a considerable bearing on the subject, and perhaps contributing to the solution of a question still untouched, viz. the application of the obviously decorative sculpture.
