especially fond of driving about in the wonderful
specimen Of the coachman's art Four Tritons
form the carriage, and they support the body by
cables, which are fastened to the roots of their
fms. The two in front are represented as sounding
shells TO announce the approach OF the Monarch OF
the Sea. They support the driver on their shou-

two on the back carry the imperial fasces. topped
with trdents Eight palm trees branching out
from the base OF the coach support its roof Three
