Among them a figure of Jupiter, in a con-templative attitude, the eagle at his feet, and his goldensceptre in his hand. His head is surrounded with thenimbus, or glory. The throne and footstool are gold,ornamented with precious stones; the former is partlycovered by the green cloth. The gods mantle is violet-coloured, lined with azure.

Itis also sometimes called the House of Amymone and Neptune,from a mediocre picture in an apartment on the right. Thereis nothing in this house requiring a particular Jiiiiitiiig in the House of the Tragic Poet. 4,00 POMPEII.
