Censorinus, Apollo/Marsyas the satyr. 384/1 L. Papius, Juno Sospita/Gryphon. 386/1 P. Satrienus, Mars/She-Wolf. 390/2 Lucretius Trio, Neptune/Cupid riding dolphin. 394/1 C. Postumius Diana/Hound running. 412/1 Roscius Fabatus, Juno Sospita/Maiden feeding snake. 442/1 M. Acilius Glabrio, Salus/Valetudo holding snake. 453/1a [and the variations thereof] L.
