ROOM OF THE PAPYRUS ROLLS

On each side is a glass case, containing specimens of papyri from
Herculaneum, fastened to the machine for unrolling, invented by Piaggio,
whose portrait is shown in the case to the left.
Between this room and that of medals [G. 1913 (6386)].

There are many objects from Herculaneum in other places than
Naples, chiefly in museums. We make no attempt to enumerate them
all. For the pictures (of which the British Museum has two, both in
the Gold Room) we refer the reader to Helbig's Wandggemälde Cam-
paniens, 1868, where a complete museographical index will be found.

296 HERCULANEUM app. III

In addition, we may notice two busts, of Bacchus and Hercules, in the
Palazzo Reale at Naples ; three draped female marble statues, from the
Theatre, in the Museum of Antiquities at Dresden (Sixth Hall, Nos. 162,
163, 164) ; and a Roman boys gold " bulla " at Oxford, in the Ashmolean
Museum ; this last was presented by the Court of Naples to the Empress
Josephine (Pourtales Cat. 1865, No. 1309, Oldfield Coll.). PLATE 4S

PLAN OF THE VILLA SUBURBANA
REPRODUCED BY PERMISSION OF PROFESSOR COM. DOMENICO COMPARETTI.
From Villa Ercalonese etc, by Comparetti and De Petra


APPENDIX IV
GUIDE TO THE VILLA SUBURBANA WITH
ACCOMPANYING PLAN

The following index-guide accompanies the facsimile of the plan of the
Villa Suburbana (Plate 48), published by Comparetti and De Petra, which
was taken from that made by Weber in the years 1750 to 1758, and to
which they added red Arabic numerals corresponding to indications set
out in their topographical description (Comp. e De Petra, pp. 291-94),
from which this index is extracted.
By following the numerals which stand in our index to the left of the
page at the commencement of lines, and which correspond to the red
numerals in the plan, it may be possible, as it were, to visit the villa from
the entrance inwards, noting by the way points indicated in black letters
and numerals of various kinds which date from the original plan and from
descriptions ( "explicaciones" ) made under a series of areas, in Spanish, by
the explorers (see Comp. e De P., pp. 221, 224, “explicacion primera
segunda,” etc. etc.).
