Text Appearing Before Image:
rs (I, I) at each end of thecarceres are still standing. The number of carceresis supposed to have been usually twelve (Cassiodor.Var. Ep. iii. 51), as they are in this plan ; but inthe mosaic discovered at Lyons, and published byArtaud (Description d?un Mosaique, &c. Lyon,1806), there are only eight* They were vaults,closed in front by gates of open wood-work(cancelli), which were opened simultaneously uponthe signal being given (Dionys. iii. p. 192; Cas-siodor. I.e. ; compare Sil. Ital. xvi. 316), by re-moving a rope (vo-ir\7iy£, Dionys. I. c. ; compareSchol. ad Theocr. Idyl. viii. 57) attached to pilas-ters of the kind called Hermae, placed for that pur-pose between each stall ; upon which the gateswere immediately thrown open by a number of men,probably the armentarii, as represented in the an-nexed woodcut, taken from a very curious marblein the Museo Borgiano, at Velletri ; which alsorepresents most of the other peculiarities above-mentioned as appertaining to the carceres.
Text Appearing After Image:
In the mosaic of Lyons the man is representedapparently in the act of letting go the rope(va-KXt)yl) in the manner described by Dionysius(I. c). The cut below, which is from a marble inthe British Museum, represents a set of four carceres,with their Hermae, and cancelli open, as left after * This mosaic has several peculiarities. Mostof the objects are double. There is a double setof ova and delphinae, one of each sort at each endof the spina — and eight chariots, that is a doubleset, for each colour, are inserted. CIRCUS. 285
