13 SCABBARD OF LEGIONARY SWORD 98 From photographs of the original in the British Museum. The scabbard is in the scale of 1:4. The sword was only 21 in. long and 2½ in. at the greatest breadth. It was found at Mainz. The scabbard is of wood ornamented with plates of silver-gilt. At the top is a relief showing Tiberius welcoming Germanicus on his victorious return from Germany (A.D. 17) In the centre is a portrait medallion of Tiberius. The relief at the bottom indicates the return of the standards of Varus to a Roman temple. Below is an Amazon armed with the German battle-axe 14 CN. POMPEIUS MAGNUS 104 From a photograph by Tryde of the original marble in the Jacobsen collection at Copenhagen. There is no sufficient reason to doubt the authenticity of this famous portrait of Pompey the Great. It closely resembles a beautiful gem in the Chatsworth collection 15 BUST OF CICERO 108 From a photograph by Alinari of the original in the Uffizi Gallery, Florence. A fine ancient portrait; but its authenticity cannot be guaranteed 16 TEMPLE OF FORTUNA VIRILIS, ROME 112 From a photograph by Anderson. Erected in 78 B.C. Notice the Ionic columns used purely as ornament 17 TEMPLE OF VESTA, TIVOLI 116 From a photograph by Alinari. Commonly known as “The Temple of the Sibyl,” but more properly assigned to Vesta. This is considered to be work of about 80 B.C. The style is Corinthian 18 (Fig. 1) VENUS GENETRIX 120 From a photograph by Alinari of the statue in the Louvre. Described on p. 156 (Fig. 2) THE MEDICI VENUS From a photograph by Alinari of the statue in the Uffizi Gallery, Florence. This celebrated and once admired statue is now regarded as typical of the degenerate Greek work produced for the Roman market. The technique is still admirable 19 JULIUS CÆSAR 136 From a photograph by the Graphic Gesellschaft of the original black basalt head in the Berlin Museum. Its antiquity is not above suspicion 20 (Fig. 1) BUST OF JULIUS CÆSAR 138 From a photograph by Anderson of the original in the Vatican, Rome. A fine portrait, undoubtedly a close copy of an authentic original, as is the equally famous example in the British Museum (Fig. 2) BUST OF BRUTUS From a photograph by Anderson of the bust in the Capitoline Museum, Rome. The authenticity of this has been doubted, but on insufficient grounds. Evidently a work of about the same period as the “Young Augustus” (plate 25)
