A dictionary of Greek and Roman antiquities.. . a pediment ; and the extremeheight of the whole from the footway is aboutseventeen feet. An unoccupied space intervenes between this tomb and the next, which bears noinscription. The last building on the left is thetomb of Scaurus, which is ornamented with bas-reliefs representing gladiatorial combats and thehunting of wild beasts. The tombs of the Romans were ornamentedin various ways, but they seldom represented deathin a direct manner. (Midler, Archdol. derKunst, § 431 ; Lessing, Wie die Alien den Todgebildet haben ?) A horses head was one of themost common representations of death, as it signi-fied departure ; but we rarely meet with skeletonsupon tombs.

Those who removed the bodiesor bones from the sepulchre were punished by deathor deportatio in insulam, according to their rank ;if the sepulchre was violated in any other way, they were punished by deportatio, or condemna-tion to the mines. (Dig. 47. tit. 12. s. 11.) Thetitle in the Digest (11. tit. 7), De Religiosis etSumtibus Funerum, &c, also contains much curi-ous information on the subject, and is well worthperusal.
