Bn 7. 4-33 : These small oblong panels are very similar to the stuccoes of the tomb figured by Paoli, Antichita di Pozzuoli, Pl. 32, 34 (see Dubois, Pouzzoles antique (Bibl. des Ec. Franc. fasc. 98), p. 351) and though the correspondence is in no case exact, it is probable that they belonged to this or a similar tomb at Pozzuoli
