Here, in front of the pilaster, the visitor should remark a curious
square altar, with Silvanus, to whom the altar is dedicated by the
farm servant of Caius Coelius Heliodorus, Callistus; and a trophy
discovered on the plains of Marathon.
Grouped in this division, are some fine works. First let the visitor
remark two white marble Victories discovered in the ruins of the villa
of Antoninus Pius, at Monte Cagnuolo. The first Victory is kneeling
upon a bull which she is about to sacrifice; and the second also is
kneeling upon, and about to stab, a bull. Then a fine bust of a
laughing satyr will arrest the attention of the visitor; then a
colossal foot in a sandal, under the front of a sarcophagus; then the
votive torso, supposed to be that of an Athelete; then a red marble
swan found in a vineyard near the Villa Pinciana; then a terminal
statue of a satyr; then a bust of Diogenes; then a bust, conjectured
to be part of the figure of a dying Amazon; then a bust of Atys.
Turning to the upper shelf of this division, the visitor should notice
the front and ends of a sarcophagus deposited there. Upon these
Bacchus and Ariadne are represented in a chariot, heralded by
Bacchanals, and drawn by Centaurs; and in other parts Pan is being
castigated by a satyr, and carried off by two Cupids aided by a satyr.
Turning to the lower shelf the visitor should examine several antique
busts. First there is a bust, conjectured to be that of Achilles; then
there is an old Hercules; then a Bacchante; then a bust of Aratus; a
female head; and a tragic mask from the lid of a sarcophagus. With the
examination of this shelf the visitor closes his inspection of the
second division, and should at once advance into the
