Not illustrated. 1917 Excerpt: ...Kohler, Annali XXXV, 1863, p. 434, n. 1; Henzen, Bulletino 1863, p. 74. u Dr. Esther B. Van Deman has very kindly allowed me to use notes made by her in the museums of Rome and Naples. Besides the Augustus, a statue of Marcellus in the Naples Museum and a Caesar of the same type, each with a red cloak over his arm, may be mentioned here. This is indicated by the passage of the Oppian Law (Livy XXXTV, 1). It is significant that the law did not apply to the dress of priests or magistrates, or to the praefexta of children.
