Base of bluish marble (H. 1.20 Br. 0.50-0.60). Formerly in the garden of the Villa Giustiniani "ad portam Flaminiam", now in the Vatican Musea, Cortile della Pigna. Zoega, Abh., 395 No.1; Maionica, Felsengeburt, No. 15; MMM II 208 No. 25 and fig. 36; cl. 480 No. 25; Pettazzoni in Ante XVIII, 1949, PI. VI fig. 12. On a base with inscription (No. 526) a round pedestal, with a snake wound around it, biting its own tail. The snake is bearded and has a crest with six rays. There are four holes in the four corners of the base, which are left free by the round elevation (diam. 0.55). Although the surface of this elevation is smooth, it is yet probable, that the whole served to support a statue, presumably one of Aion. ROMA 209
