page 234 note 4 Déchelette gives this motif with a small base. It is also found thus in the work of docilis: cf. Stanfield and Simpson, op. cit., pl. 91, no. 1, and in the work of the potter with the large S, pl. 76, no. 33. Oswald did not include this small motif in his Index. He noted it, however, in the work of doccalvs in a marginal note written in his personal copy of Vases ornés de la Gaule romaine.

page 235 note 1 On Gallo-Roman pottery the circus charioteer is found: Déchelette, 646–7 = Oswald 1159–72, but designs made up entirely from the theme of hunting-horses do not seem to have been numerous. Three themes above all are known: hunting scenes (in the open country or in the circus), patterns of Bacchanalian inspiration, and vases with marine subjects; (Libertus, Carantinus …).
page 235 note 2 The Small S Potter has been dated from the period A.D. 160–195: Stanfieldand Simpson, op.cit., p. 247. During this period hunting and animal scenes are extremely frequent and constitute even a general characteristic of that style: Déchelette, op. cit. i, 187.

page 235 note 6 On Gallo-Roman sigillata a large number of stamp-moulds representing cupids are found. Oswald gives 140 examples (nos. 376–516, pls. xx to xxv). At La Graufesenque, Lezoux, and La Madeleine, the theme of Cupid riding a dolphin appears, the same as that at Arrezo and in the Baths of Ostia for example (cf. S. Reinach, op. cit., p. 79, no. 6, thermes d'Ostie; Dragendorff-Watzinger, op. cit., suppl. 9, no. 77, vase de c. tellivs (concerning this theme refer to the same page note 2), Arrezo; Oswald, no. 17, pl. ii; Hermet, Li Graufesenque, no. 199, pl. 22; Oswald, op. cit., no. 44A, Lezoux, no. 44. La Madeleine).
page 235 note 7 Professor Alföldi, op. cit., points out the design of Diana's pillar on the lid of an early silver box, bought from an antique dealer in Berlin; this motif had therefore been used on metal vases, but we have no information concerning the date of the object.
