SCULPTURE Of the scidptnres found at Po))ipeii: Very few of the sculptures unearthed at Pompeii are treated or reproduced in the comprehensive works on ancient sculpture. The more important statues and reliefs found prior to 1865, as well as those discovered in Herculaneum, are published in the Real Museo Bor- bonico, with descriptive te.xt; see the Index at the end of vol. 16, pp. 8-34. They are reproduced also by Roux, with descriptive text by Barre, Hercula- num et Pompdi, vols. 6 and 7 (first part). These engravings, while in many cases faulty, are often serviceable to students at a distance in the identification of photographs, which are easily obtained through the Naples dealers. The better terra-cottas are published by Von Rohden, Die Terracotten von Pom- peji (Stuttgart, 1880). A somewhat fuller treatment of Pompeian sculpture is given in Overheck-Mau, Pompeji, pp. 532-563. Heads of Epicurus^ De/fiosthe>ieSy and Callijnachus [p. 447] : Mau, Bull, dell’ Inst., 1876. pp. 242-243; Brizio, Ann. dell’ Inst., vol. 45 (1873), PP- 9^“ 106; Mo.mmsen and Robert, Archaologische Zeitung, 1880, pp. 32-36; Comparetti, La Villa Ercolanese dei Pisoni (Torino, 1883), pp. 33-53, pi. HI, nos. 4, 7, 8 ; Mau, Bull, dell’ Inst., 1883, pp. 89-96; for other references, see Helbig, Ftihrer durch die bffentlichen Sammlungen klassischer Alterttimer in Rom (Edit. 2, 2 vols., Leipzig, 1899), vol. i, p. 319, no. 476. Busts of Virgil and Horace [p. 448] (found in October, 1868): Giornale degli scavi di Pompei, Nuova Serie, vol. i (1868), p. 133 and pi. i ; Fiorelli, Gli scavi di Pompei dal 1861 al 1872, p. 164; Bernoulli, Rdmische Ikono graphie, vol. i (Stuttgart, 1882), pp. 127, 192; Helbig, Ftihrer durch die dffentlichen Sammlungen klassischer Alterttimer in Rom (Edit. 2), vol. i, pp. 355-356. A further reason why Brutus cannot be represented in the Naples bust is that the similar bust in the Capitoline Museum in Rome (Helbig, op. cit., no. 536) shows a person well on in years, while the promi- nence of Brutus lasted only for a brief period, and it is not likely that there
