SEVENTH ROOM.--Frescoes: Triumph of Marius, and Defeat of the Cimbri, by Daniele da Volterra. Near the door is a relief, representing the Temple at Jerusalem; and in front of it a team of oxen drawing on a car the molten sea (1 Kings vii. 23; 2 Chron. iv. 2). EIGHTH ROOM.--Scenes of the Roman Republic, by Lauretti. NINTH ROOM.--Frescoes from the history of the kings, by Arpino. _Passing through the rooms of the Fasti, from 1540 A.D., we enter the_ HALL OF BUSTS, comprising statesmen, poets, painters, authors, sculptors, all noted in Italian history. At the end is a monument to Canova. _A door on the right opens into the_ FIRST HALL OF BRONZES. (_For numbers, see plan._) 1, 2. Cases of small bronze articles found at various times. 3. A bronze biga, or two-horse chariot, with reliefs depicting scenes from the circus; restored upon a wooden frame, and given by Signor A. Castellani. 4. A bisellium, or chair of state. 8. Lectica, or sedan chair. "These infirmities caused him [Claudius] to be carried in a close chair, which no Roman had ever used before; and from thence have the emperors and the rest of us consular men taken the custom of using chairs of that sort, for neither Augustus nor Tiberius used anything but small litters, which are still in fashion for the women" (Dion Cassius). 9, 10. Shelves containing household utensils, &c. 11. Fragments of columns of Bigio marble. ROOM OF COINS. The beautiful alabaster pavement of this room was found, as now fixed, upon the Esquiline Hill, on Christmas eve, 1874. It formed part of the House of the Larmæ, where the statues were found. The coins formed part of the Campana Collection, and are of great value. The small case of gems is worth looking into; it contains some fragments not unlike the Portland vase, white reliefs on a blue ground. _We now enter the new_ OCTAGONAL HALL. (_The order is liable to alteration, as objects are constantly being added._)
