Some lamps placed in Cases 96, 97 give interesting pictures of Roman harbours. In one (No. =79=; fig. 27), a ship is seen entering the harbour, which is indicated by a light-house on the left. Of the crew of six, one is seated high on the stern, blowing a trumpet to announce the ship's approach; before him is the steersman, and next come three men furling the sail. The man in the bows is preparing to let down the anchor. Another lamp (No. =80=; fig. 28) shows a harbour with buildings on the quay. A fisherman in a small boat holds a rod and line in his right hand, and a fish which he has just caught in his left. Before him is a man on shore just about to cast a net into the water. In the third lamp (No. =81=) Cupid is seen in a boat, hauling in his net from the water. A marble laver (No. =82=), originally decorated with a relief of Asklepios, Hygieia and Telesphoros, has been subsequently sculptured with votive dedications for a fair voyage. On the left, Poseidon stands on a ship, with a suppliant before him, on the right is a ship running before the wind. The inscriptions invoke good voyages for Theodoulos and Pedius Psycharios.

The wide subjects of Religion and Superstition are naturally represented in a fragmentary way in the few cases devoted to them in this collection. They are roughly classified in the following description, into groups, viz.:-- (1) Implements and methods of worship. (2) Votive offerings. (3) Superstition and Magic. =Implements and methods of worship.= _Altars, etc._--The larger altars (and sepulchral chests of altar form) will be found in the sculpture galleries. Here we have (No. =83=) a small altar, from Dodona, inscribed as belonging to all the gods,[17] and various model altars, probably used in some cases for the burning of incense.
