Architecture in Italy, from the sixth to the eleventh century; historical and critical researches . d over alltwo serpents ; a com-position full of attrac-tion because it is one ofthe first essays of thosebizarre yet obscure re-presentations of ani-mal s, which theByzantines loved torepeat so often in thefollowing centuries, and which reachedtheir apogee with thebalustrades and decorative forms of the tenth and eleventhcenturies that we shall see in Venice.
