Regio IX — Porticus of Pompejus.
F. Castagnoli in BCR LXXII, 1949–50, 149 mentions a find in 1866 in the Via dei Chiavari: il toro mitriaco ferito . . . . dalla donzella alata . . . . il bassorelievo è grande. But cf. Pietrangeli in BCR 1940, 236 who pointed out that a similar frieze, with which Bendorff-Schoene, Catal., 47 identifies this monument, still exists in the same place. It is a Victoria.
