    Blue glass vase [p. 415] : Schultz, Anforina di vetro con bassirilievi rinvenuta in Pompei, Ann. dell’ Inst., vol. ii (1839), pp. 84-100. Gladiatorial scenes on the tomb of Scaurus [p. 419] : admirably engraved by Mazois (op. cit., pi. 30, 31, 32), and frequently reproduced, as by ScHREiBER, Atlas of Classical Antiquities (Eng. trans., 1895), pi. 30, 2-9, text, with citation of literature, p. 59; Niccolini, le case ed i monumenti di Pompei, vol. i. Inscriptions accompanying the figures: C. I. L. IV. 1182; the inscription of the tomb itself is given, C. I. L. X. 1024. In his in- terpretation of the reliefs Mazois incorrectly assumed (op. cit., pp. 47-48) that on account of the baiting of a bear by one of the figures with a cloth the tomb could not have been built before the time of Claudius. T. he passage cited by him (Plin. N. H. VIII. xvi. 54) has no bearing on the date; but the tomb of Scaurus, which belongs neither to the oldest nor to the most recent, may well have been built in the time of Claudius or of Nero. Ship on the tomb of Naevoleia Tyche [p. 423] • Jordan, Ann. dell’ Inst., vol. 44 (1872), pp. 20-26; Visconti, Fronte di Sarcofago con Tritoni e navi, Bull. Com., vol. i (1872-1873), pp. 255-269; cf. Cic. De Sen. xix. 71. Petronius (Sat. lxxi.) humorously represents Trimalchio as ordering ^ ships under full sail ’ among the carvings of his tomb. Inscription of Salvias [p. 426] : found, according to C. I. L. X. 1032, be- side the tomb of Naevoleia Tyche; but we have the testimony of Bonucci (Pompei, 1830, p. 37) to the effect that it was found in the niche where it now is, where it exactly fits the cavity. The mistake in the Corpus may have arisen from a misunderstanding of the report of the excavation, which is now unfortunately lost. M. Alleius Luccius Libella [p. 426] : the name w'as originally Luccius Libella, with what praenomen is not clear; but Luccius Libella married the daughter of M. Alleius (M. Alleius Nigidius Maius?) and was adopted by him, assuming his praenomen and nomen, so that the full name took the form given in the inscription. The son dropped the original nomen Luccius, and was called simply M. Alleius Libella. In like manner the name of the son of D. Lucretius Satrius Valens became D. Lucretius Valens [p. 222].
