Hyllus, page to Tiberius, was discovered.
His poor little bones had been Enclosed
in the vase together with his favorite
toys. There was a small terra-cotta
chicken, painted in bright colors, and q
fragment of a puppet. in the shape of our
pulcinellas, with clay bust, arms and

gone. Who would have thought that
these miserable playthings of an obscure
