A Bronze Bust of a Iulio-Claudian Prince (? Caligula) in the Museum of Colchester; With a Note on the Symbolism of the Globe in Imperial Portraiture
The bronze bust reproduced in fig. I and on plates I and II, from photographs supplied by the kindness of Mr. Wright, director of the Colchester Museum, was found along with two others, a statuette of Iupiter and a fine mask of Silenus, at Colchester in October, 1845. All three bronzes were described by the late Sir Charles Newton, then quite a young man, in a letter to Sir Henry Ellis. Newton's account of the find is as follows: The three bronze…
A note on two Roman sepulchral reliefs
Few people probably have noticed a Roman sepulchral slab with the portrait-busts of a man and a woman (plate XXIV), which is embedded in the wall of the Hall of Busts at the British Museum, just above two portraits of Tiberius (nos. 1830, 1881). It was transferred to its present more dignified position within the last five years, after a period of inglorious seclusion in one of the museum basements. The only modern publication of it appears to be…
The Architectural Decoration in Terracotta from Early Latin Temples in the Museo di Villa Giulia
The republican art of Rome and Latium has been much neglected. Even the admirable article in the Encyclopaedia Britannica which is signed by one of our foremost scholars, the same writer's Companion to Roman Studies , and the article on Roman art in the Cambridge Companion to Latin Studies begin the subject of Roman art with Augustus, or give only the briefest of indications for what precedes; yet more can be done in the way of reconstructing a p…
Six Drawings from the Column of Trajan with the Date 1467
The reliefs of the column of Trajan lie before the world in the two sumptuous publications of Fröhner and Cichorius, where they are reproduced with all the accuracy of modern technical process; but, in an age when historical composition is out of favour, they fail to awaken interest outside the immediate circle of antiquaries and historians. In the Early and Middle Renaissance, on the other hand, when the only view of the column was obtained eith…
The Exhibition, illustrative of the Provinces of the Roman Empire, at the Baths of Diocletian, Rome
This year the Italians celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the proclamation of Rome as capital of United Italy. Apt as usual to seize the appropriate idea, they decided to mark the occasion in Rome herself by an exhibition that should not merely display the growth of present Italian art and industries, or afford hospitality to the art of other nations, but should set forth besides in visible monuments the former glory of Rome, the wide range of…
Art. XI.—The History of Kilwa
It would seem at first sight as if the history of a small African island were hardly worth the trouble of editing in its original and not very stylish Arabic dress. But it was a saying of Scaliger's that omnis historia bona , and no people seem to have realized the truth of this more than the Arabs. An event once recorded simply as and because it happened, may by the advance of time be brought into new clearness and significance. Once in possessi…
Art. VIII.—Four Cuneiform Texts
Of Aššurbêlkala, son and successor of the first Tiglath pileser, we know little. The so-called synchronous history devotes a few lines to his reign, from which, however, we learn nothing more than that in his time the peoples of Assyria and Babylon were united in the bonds of friendship aud alliance, and that he took to wife a Babylonian lady, daughter of the upstart Rammanâpluiddinna, King of Babylon (W. A. I., ii. 65, 25). Two only of Aššurbêlk…
Art. XII.—Two Edicts of Aššurbanipal
The following inscription is engraved (lines 1 to 49) on the back and (lines 50 to 81) on the left side of a stele of reddish stone brought from Babylon by Mr. Rassam, and now in the British Museum. The stele is rounded at the top, and on the face Aššurbanipal is represented in high relief in his tiara and royal robes, supporting on his head with his two hands an object which looks like a basket of woven reeds. The meaning of this attitude has be…
Art. III.–On some Cuneiform Inscriptions of Sennacherib and Aššurnaṣirpal
The following inscription, or rather group of three independent inscriptions, is on a tablet of clay numbered K 1280 in the Kouyunjik Collection of the British Museum. The tablet measures by 23⁄8 in. (Bezold, Catalogue , p. 257). The obverse contains an inscription of nine lines complete in itself, the reverse two inscriptions of three and six lines respectively, which are separated by a line of division, and a single group of three characters ap…
