Note 13 — Chapter I · THE KING OF THE WOOD
Reading edition
Some of the timbers and fittings of these vessels were fished up from the bottom of the lake in 1895. Especially remarkable are the beautiful bronze heads of lions and wolves with mooring-rings in their mouths. Caligula’s name (C . CAESARIS . AVG . GERMANICI) is stamped on the leaden water-pipes, and the style of the bronzes is that of the first century. See Notizie degli Scavi, 1895, pp. 361–396, 461–474; J. C. G.
