two parallel walls, leading to the gate- way ; which has but one arch, twenty-one feet high and twelve wide ; the gate being placed four feet within it, or about fifty from the external face of the towers.
The very ancient gate of the Lions at Mycene is built on this plan ; by which the attacking party, who could only ad- vance in small numbers, would, cooped up in a passage little wider than the gate- way they approached, be exposed to great disadvantage and annoyance from the be- sieged linin...g the tops of the flanking walls.
The city was possibly more liable to attack upon this than any other quarter.
This gate-way also is built of rubble and bricks, covered with stucco. The key stone of the arch towards the city is carved with the representation of a human head; and at the side of this latter is placed a curious Oscan inscription \ These, as 1 Oscan is supposed to have been the language of the lower orders.
POMPEIANA. 131 well as the flanking towers, are possibly coeval with the earliest part of the walls, and here placed when the present less ancient gate-way was formed.
