Extract

The fragment illustrated above was offered for sale in London last summer. It should belong to the new replica of the Sardanapalus from Castel Gandolfo, which was kindly shown me by Commendatore Paribeni in 1926, soon after its discovery. The broken surfaces correspond pretty exactly, if my memory serves me aright; the execution is similar, and does not belie Curtius' date, the end of the first century A.D., though I should prefer to think it some years later.

Less vapid than the replica of the Sala della Biga, and free from retouching and restoration.
