which was for ages the favorite sub
ject of Greek artists Evidently a
some early period the civilized races
of Greece had d severe experience
with some wild race that handled
horses with superb skill Thereafter
they preferred to represent their
legendary enemies as half men and
Ialf horses.
The ancient Greeks and Italians
probably produced paintings to a far
sreater extent than we have hith-
erto realized Works of this char
acter have inevitably been more
damaged by he fight of time than
any others. In the vast majority OF
cases the paintings must have been
completely effaoed by time and de-

which they were painted may have
been preserved.
1t is only in such places as Pompeii

In the house of Metellus the

Of lading of their goods.
Among his business relics are q
large number of receipts, some in
Latin and others In Greek. Many
refer to transactions in which the
banker acted as auctioneer. He
presided at the sales and made his
profits on them in various ways.
He lent the buyers the ready
money they needed for their pur-
chases and collected his debt at the
end of the month with high rate
of interest.
He ran up the bidding at the sale
and received commission from the
sellers on the price obtained. AT
the same time he increased the
sums which the buyers had to Dor
row from him. He was manager Of
the communal estates of Lampuris
among numerous sources of profit.
One of the receipts of the banker
recovered reads as follows: I'm the

the second time, and of CassiuS

and sealed agreement"
The transactions of Metellus ran
up into the millions. They were
so vast that he used a special sys-

his entries reads: ITO A. Pompeius

There is unhappily strong reason
to believe that this sum, vast one
in the values of that age. was paid
to the Roman Senate for securing
some valuable special privilege to
Metellus in foreign possession az
