Thebowandquiver^...wh^Q TEMPLE OF DIANA AT BPHESUS. 191 the statue was perfect, were doubtless of bronze; and the place occupied by the quiver, behind the right shoulder, is very perceptible, as well as the holes and the metal by which it was fastened to the marble. It was found in 1772, near La Stocta, about eight iniles from Rome. Here likewise may be seen a most beautiful head of Diana, sculptured in Parian % marble. It is altogether a most superior work.
