DiscovEnv is ITAt.v.—The ancient city of
which underwent the ever-memorable siege by the
Rcmans in the year of Rome ;GO, and which was
again erected and embeßished by the Emperors, be-
ing ruined in a furious eioption..of the barbarians, it
was permitted on the decline of the Empire to remain
in a state cit desolation, arid its reliques, covered with
rubbish tad roil, ar^ trr.v yielding plzatiful crops.—
M. Georgi, iin eminent agricultulk, and owner of
the land, had the curiosity to (lit; into, the bosom of
the old scite, and on discovering par: of a range of
coltimrs at twelve feet below the stirlace, he employ-
ed thirty men to follow out his discovery. The re-
search still continues; they found a most huutiful
statt4 of Tiberius 3 it is of the heroic size, and in a
sitting attitude. The head bears a striking resem-
blance to the Emperor's medals, and is sublime both
in execution and expre:sion ; the arms, the knees, the
hair, and tlie drapery, are excellent. It is of Greek
marble, and the evident work of a Grecian artist :
along with the statue they found a fine bust, suppos-
ed to be the had rlf Lepidits, the Consul, a Phrygian
slave, a Caryatides,. a beautiful head of Flora,-the i
lower part of the figure of a priestess, with drapery,
in the style of the first masters, a Dolium of an im-
mense size, with many capitals of various orders in a 1,
good state of preservation. Many greater discoveties
are expected to be made by M. Georgi in this inte-
resting braech of antiquarianism.
