... lia fatto alla guancia Della sua palma sospirando letto. Dante Pur. VII.
Sed frons læta parum et dejecto lumina vultu. Virg. Æu. VI, 863. See the learned canon. De Jorio's Munica degli antichi, art. Dolore, Mestizia. We may add that conquered provinces are often represented in a similar attitude as statues, on bas-reliefs, and on medals. See for instance, Judæa Capta, a reverse of Vespasian, ap. Addison, Dialogues on ancient medals.
