Abstract
This second series of the neglected wall-paintings of ancient Rome follows on that published in the last number of these Papers (vol. vii. 1914, p. 121 ff.). As before, the coloured plates are from water-colour drawings by Mr. F. G. Newton executed in the summer of 1913. The paintings, now reproduced on Plates III.–IX., adorn certain rooms in a private house in the Via de' Cerchi, the back of which is built against the southern slope of the Palatine, while the front abuts almost on the structures of the north-east end of the Circus Maximus; its vestibule, indeed, must have touched the northern line of the road that ran between the outer walls of the Circus and the hill, coinciding practically with the modern street.
