29 TWO VIEWS OF THE PONT DU GARD 158 This is part of the great aqueduct which supplied Nismes with water. The bridge has a span of 880 feet across the valley of the Gardon. The lower tiers are built of stone without mortar or cement of any kind. 30 (Fig. 1) INTERIOR OF ROMAN TEMPLE, NISMES 160 (Fig. 2) LOWER CORRIDOR OF ARENA, NISMES The amphitheatre at Nismes is larger than that of Verona. There are sixty arches on the ground and first floors, with larger apertures at the four cardinal points 31 THE ARENA, NISMES 162 Notice the consoles in the attic story. These are pierced with round holes to contain the poles which once supported an awning for the protection of the spectators from the heat 32 (Fig. 1) TRIUMPHAL ARCH, ST. REMY, ARLES 164 Arles (Arelate) was one of the chief towns of Gallia Narbonensis, and a colony of Augustus. The upper part of the arch has perished. The sculptures represent chained captives. There is no inscription and the date of the monument is uncertain (Fig. 2) MAUSOLEUM OF JULIUS, ST. REMY, ARLES This mausoleum was erected by three brothers Julius to the memory of their parents. Thousands of Gauls took the name of Julius in honour of Cæsar and Augustus. The style, which is essentially Græco-Roman, is appropriate to the period of Augustus. The reliefs again represent captives. Plates 29-32 are from photographs taken by Sir Alexander Binnie 33 (Fig. 1) ARCH OF MARIUS, ORANGE 166 From a photograph by Neurdein. Apparently erected to the memory of C. Marius, who defeated the Teutons at Aquæ Sextiæ in 102 B.C. The neighbourhood of Orange (Arausio) was the scene of a great Roman defeat three years earlier. But the style of the monument points to a date at least a century later. The style of the reliefs is dated by the best authorities in the reign of Tiberius. The name of the sculptor, Boudillus, appears to be Gallic (Fig. 2) S. LORENZO, MILAN From a photograph by Brogi. Remains of a handsome Corinthian colonnade which formerly belonged to the palace of Maximian. In the fourth century A.D., Mediolanum was frequently a place of imperial residence. In this period Milan was larger than Rome 34 BARBARIAN WOMAN, KNOWN AS “THUSNELDA” 168 From a photograph by Almari. This famous statue, which stands in the Loggia dei Lanzi, at Florence, is popularly called after the wife of Arminius, who died in exile at Ravenna. It is probably a typical Teutonic captive and very possibly occupied a place in the niche of a triumphal arch. Mrs. Strong assigns it to the period of Trajan 35 (Fig. 1) ALTAR OF THE LARES OF AUGUSTUS 172
