Diana E. E. et Fred S. Kleiner, Two Bomano-Provencal Portrait Reliefs, p. 243-257. Two Augustan funerary reliefs with family portraits from «St.-Julien-les-Martigues» and «Les Baux» are discussed. The St.-Julien relief has been variously described, but the authors believe that it depicts a scene of leaveta-king which has close parallels on Hellenistic Etruscan cinerary urns. The rock-cut relief at Les Baux depicts two waist-length figures within a horizontal frame. Comparable funerary portraits may be found in the area around Benevento. The two reliefs are cited as evidence for the migration of Italian artists to Gaul under Augustus
