Extract

The following notes, made during my work for the British School at Rome on the sculptures of the Palazzo dei Conservatori, are here published by permission of Prof. H. Stuart Jones, General Editor of the forthcoming catalogue, and at the suggestion of Mrs. Arthur Strong, for whose constant help and criticism I wish to take this opportunity of recording my thanks. The summary descriptions are not intended in any sense to supplant, but rather to supplement the catalogue; and their appearance here is due to the belief that new theories are best published separately before being embodied, if only because the conclusions reached can in this way be substantiated by arguments, especially in the form of photographs, which would there be out of place. The note which had its beginnings in the Esquiline stele has grown to the dimensions of a separate article, and in view of its possible interest has been so printed.

4 Prof. Arndt has kindly shown me notes made by him some years ago, in which the same conclusion is reached: it is, I think, in any ease hardly to be disputed. But the statue is so little known and of such importance that the present publication, with photographs, may not be out of place. The Sauroktonos head illustrated (by kind permission of Prof. Herrmann) is the somewhat inferior Dresden replica, which has at least the merit of being, unlike the better known Vatican copy, only slightly restored.
