. Illustrations of the remains of Roman art, in Cirencester, the site of antient Corinium . d in a Phrygian cap,studded with jewels, his body being covered with the tunic, fastenedround the waist by a girdle; and from the left shoulder is wildly flowinga variously striped toga; the legs are covered by pantaloons, which reacha little below the knee, and on the feet are shoes; he is represented in aleaning posture, with the left knee elevated as a rest for the lyre, whichis here a curious and rudely formed instrument. The only other figurein this circle is a dog, which is represented as dancing on its hind legs. Around the central medallion is a circle devoted to birds : here the duck,goose, hen, peacock, the common and silver pheasant are all represented,walking around the circle with rapid strides, the birds being well broughtout by some scrubby trees, with dark olive green foliage, which occupythe fore and back ground of this scene. Then follows another and larger circle, separated from the former byan elegantly formed wreath of bay leaves; this, as indeed is also the whole.
