Pfuhl, E., Malerei und Zeichnung II., p. 836, § 916Google Scholar), not to mention the innumerable rustic shrines and sacred trees in enclosures to be noted in Pompeian and kindred painting (as Not., 1922, p. 469, Fig. 8; p. 470, Fig. 9: cf. Helbig, , Untersuchungen über die campanische Wandmalerei, p. 300Google Scholar; Pfuhl II., pp. 893 ff., 907), or genuine religious pictures, as those in the temple of Isis at Pompeii (Wandg., pp. 2 ff.), or that of the Iuuenes Venerii Pompeiani (Corte, M.

page 61 note 9 Cf. Christ-Schmid, , Griech. Litt. II.6, p. 300, 479Google Scholar; Drachmann, A. B., Atheism in Pagan Antiquity, pp. 95 f.Google Scholar, treats the novel as a typical instance of the supersession of the gods by Tyche. Tyche is indeed prominent in it; nevertheless, putting on one side the ‘aretalogy’ type of novel (exemplified in effect by the work of Philostratus on Apollonius; cf. Christ-Schmid, p. 808), we may find in the secular type confirmation of popular interest in cults and of popular belief. Callirhoe is advised by the country folk near Miletus to pray to their Aphrodite (Chariton II. 2): (cf. I. 14, III. 6: Aphrodite is ⋯πιφανεστ⋯τη in an inscription at Aphrodisias, R.E.G. XIX., p. 231): other passages bearing on this are III. 8, VII. 2, Xen. Ephes. I. 5, 10, 12, III. II, IV. 2, 3, V. 4, Historia Apollonii, c. 26 fin. (and cf. Calderini, A., Le avventure di Cherea e Calliroe, pp. 80 ff.Google Scholar). Chariton, Xenophon, and the lost Greek original of the Historia reflect an earlier scheme of composition, and it is not improbable that the religious element in them is earlier in the γ⋯νος and pre-Augustan. This tradition survives in Longus (who tries to draw a picture of rustic piety which reminds us of Tibullus), in the probably sceptical Achilles Tatius (cf. II. 2, V. 2, VIII. 18 ), and later in the Christian writers Eumathios (as I. 10) and Theodoras Prodromus; they found this characteristic feature of the novel fixed before them.

page 62 note 1 At Ephesus the cult statue of Artemis becomes common under Augustus and so continues (B.M.C. Ionia, pp. 71. 73, 76 f.), and later we find an interesting Ζεὺς ῾ϒ⋯τιος (p. 79, n. 237) and the sacred processional ⋯π⋯νη (pp. 82, n. 251, 84, n. 267): at Magnesia the cult statue of Artemis Leucophryene and later Isis, Helios, Serapis so appear (ib., pp. 163, 164, 166), at Miletus the cult statue of Apollo Didymeus (pp. 197, n. 133 ff., also Artemis, p. 199, n. 155), at Smyrna the cult-type of Aphrodite Stratoniceia (pp. 239, n. 19 ff.: first century B.C.), at Teos the cista mystica surmounted by a Bacchic mask (p. 316, n. 53), at Samos Hera Samia (p. 370, etc.), at Aphrodisias in Caria the cult statue of Aphrodite (B.M.C. Caria, p. 28, n. 19, etc. [first century B.C.], previously only her head), at Bargylia Artemis Kindyas (p. 72.8, first century B.C.), at Cidramus Aphrodite (p. 81. 5, under Nero?), at Euromus Zeus Labraundus (p. 99. 3), at Halicarnassus a terminal Athena (p. 110. 81, under Nero), at Harpasos Artemis. Ephesia (p. 113. 2), at Stratonicea Hecate (p. 150. 23, after 81), at Mytilene a terminal Dionysos (B.M.C. Troas, pp. 193, n. 106 ff.).

The same monarch's head on Greek coins can be seen in Svoronos, ΤΑ ΝΟΜΙΣΜΑΤΑ ΤOmega;Ν ΠΤΟΔΕΜΑΙΩΝ II., p. 1117, Pl. 36. 6, 7.
