CHAPTER XLVI

. HOUSEHOLD FURNITURE

Nearly all the articles of furniture and of the toilet referred to in this chapter are figured and described, with many others, in the Real Museo Borbonico. For detailed reference, see the Index, near the end of vol. 16 (pp. 96-97, Ori; pp. 97-98, Argenti; pp. 99-112, Suppellettile), and our List of Illustrations, pp. xxi-xxiii. Most of them are reproduced by ROUX, Herculanum et Pompei, vol. 7; a number are figured by PIRANESI in the volume, Oggetti di uso civile, militare e religioso, trovati a Pompeia e ad Ercolano (= vol. 27 of his Opera). See also the references on the Pompeian and the Roman house [pp. 531-532], and BECKER, Gallus (eighth English edition, London, 1886), pp. 285-301; GUHL and KONER, Life of the Greeks and Romans, Secs. 86-93, 97; FRIEDLAENDER, Sittengeschichte Roms, Edit. 5, vol. 3, pp. 100-112, Edit. 7, vol. 2, pp. 210-220; MARQUARDT, Roem. Privatleben (Edit. 2), pp. 607-768. Cf. MAU, Fornelli antichi, Roem. Mitth., vol. 10 (1898), pp. 38-46.

_Silver cups found in the Casa dell' Argenteria_ [p. 379]: FIORELLI, Pomp. ant. hist., vol. 2, p. 305.

_The treasure of Boscoreale_ [p. 380]: HERON DE VILLEFOSSE, Le tresor de Boscoreale, Monuments et Memoires publies par l'Academie des Inscriptions et Belles-lettres, vol. 5 (Fondation Piot, Paris, 1899), fasc. 1 and 2; also MICHAELIS, Der Silberschatz von Boscoreale, Preussische Jahrbuecher, vol. 85 (1896), pp. 19-56; WINTER, Der Silberschatz von Boscoreale, Archaeologischer Anzeiger, Beiblatt zum Jahrb. des Inst., vol. 11 (1896), pp. 74-87; cf. also COLLIGNON, Histoire de la sculpture grecque, vol. 2, pp. 681-682.

_Shallow bowl with a representation of Alexandria_ [p. 380]: Two similar bowls were ornamented with realistic portrait heads of a man and a woman, which, to judge from the manner of dressing the hair, probably date from the reign of Claudius or Nero. The bowl containing the portrait of the woman had been lost, and the detached head is now in the British Museum. The other, with the rest of the collection (102 pieces) is in the Louvre.

_Beside Epicurus an eager pig_ [p. 381]: cf. Hor. Ep. I. iv. 16, _Epicuri de grege porcus_.

_Greek inscription_ [p. 382]: HERON DE VILLEFOSSE, op. cit., p. 59.
