Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Archaeological Journal, 1889, Vol. 46 In all the Roman period the custom was to bury not in a coffin, nor in a pit-well; all that system went out when bodies were kept above ground and decorated. The custom then was to build brick chambers above ground, along the sides Of the road in the cemetery, and to bury the bodies in shallow graves in the floors of the chambers covered with loose earth and dust, often only a foot or two down. Very frequently a whole family of mummies appears to have been huddled Off by an undertaker, and buried anyhow in the first convenient hole, heads and feet in any direction: in one case a dozen gilt head mummies were forced into a square pit Of an Old tomb, several upside down in order to get room for their shoulders among the legs of the others. All this period is of little interest from an Egyptian point Of View; but as an illustration of the decay of beliefs and customs of extreme antiquity, as a study Of the extent to which Greeks and Italians adopted the habits of the people among whom they lived, and as the surround ing of an important chapter In the history of painting, we may well give some attention to this series of changes which I have now briefly traced. We will now turn to some technical examples of the products of Roman life in Egypt. The portraits on cedar wood panels are rarely in tempera, only a few early trials being thus executed. The regular mode was by mixing the colours with melted wax, exactly as we do with oil, and then laying them on, usually with a brush, sometimes with pastel. A coat of priming of the ground-colour of the subject was laid on first, and then the painting was worked in upon that. Cross-hatching of a darker tint, or spotting, is occasionally seen in the earlier examples; but usually the right tint was mixed and laid on smoothly with a great delicacy of blending in and shading. Of the technical excellence of these portraits I need not speak, as it is manifest to all; many of them could hardly be surpassed.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Archaeological Journal, 1889, Vol. 46 I have no intention of entering on a systematic or general consideration of the subject I name, but rather of la)ring before the Institute some of the more remarkable products of Roman work in Egypt, which have come to light in the course of my excavations this spring. Nearly everything that I have brought to End land was found in a large cemetery belonging to the town of Arsinoe, the capital of the province of the Fayum; this district is about 60 miles south of Cairo, and is really one of the oases of the western desert, near enough to the Nile to be fed by a canal. I had this province assigned to me last winter by M. Grebaut, the director of the department of antiquities at Cairo, and for the archaic interest of the pyramids and labyrinths, and the later value of the Roman portraiture, I could hardly wish for a better district. The whole of the work in the cemetery of Hawara was entirely a bye-affair; I did not stop there a single day outside of the time spent in opening the pyramid there, of which I hope to have somewhat to say next year; and the products of the cemetery were so much given in as well, a prize to maintain patience. The whole system of the mummification in later times, and the decay of Egyptian customs, could be traced out in this cemetery with great advantage.

And this supposition will gain in weight the more we bear in mind, let, that, in the course of time the various ceremonies of gods and heroes strongly tended to intermingle 2nd, that Athene and Theseus became more and more closely associated as the patrons of Attica, and that they both have an especial share in the constitution of the Panathenaic festival; and 3rd, that after the Persian war the chief power of the Athenians consisted in their maritime force, a suggestion of which they would naturally tend to introduce in connexion with their patron deity.
