Text Appearing Before Image:
rident, one of the emblems of the masculinetriad; whilst in another is to be seen an oval sistrum-shapcdloop, a symbol of the feminine unit. On his forehead hebears an eye, symbolic of the Omniscient, the sun, and theunion of the sexes. As it has been doubted by some readers, whether I amjustified in regarding the si strum as a female emblem, Iappend here a quotation from Socrates Ecclesiastical History,Bohns translation, p. 281, seq. In Rome, in the early timeof Theodosius, when a woman was detected in adultery. . . they shut her up in a narrow brothel, and obligedher to prostitute herself in a most disgusting manner; causing 20 little bells to be rung at tbe time ... As soon as theemperor was apprised of this indecent usage, he would by nomeans tolerate it; but having ordered the Sistra (for sothese places of penal prostitution were denominated) to bepulled down, &c. One can as easily see why a femaleemblem should mark a brothel in Rome as a male symboldid at Pompeii. PLATE XVI.
