Text Appearing Before Image:
secondseries of Pompeiana. In one of the rooms were found theremains of wheels, of exactly the same construction as thosenow in use. In the front of the view, which is taken lookingtowards the vestibule, is a slab of marble covering the mouthof a cistern. In this atrium several beautiful paintings havebeen found. Among them a figure of Jupiter, in a con-templative attitude, the eagle at his feet, and his goldensceptre in his hand. His head is surrounded with thenimbus, or glory. The throne and footstool are gold,ornamented with precious stones; the former is partlycovered by the green cloth. The gods mantle is violet-coloured, lined with azure. Behind the house of Zephyrus and Flora is the Casa dellAncora, or House of the Anchor, so called from a black andwhite mosaic in the prothyrum representing an anchor. Itis also sometimes called the House of Amymone and Neptune,from a mediocre picture in an apartment on the right. Thereis nothing in this house requiring a particular description.
