		In room IX, ordered by iconographical theme, are shown the Farnese gems that cannot be traced to earlier collections, along with the few specimens that it has been possible to attribute to the collections of cardinals Ranuccio and Alessandro.
		The latter represent the "Roman" corpus of the great collection of antiquities of the Farnese family.
		Because of the curtness of the descriptions contained in the 16th century inventories of the collections of these two cardinals, it has been possible to identify only a few of the Neapolitan gems as surely belonging to them.

		The Farnese globe has it nearly right-side-up, tilted rather to the right, so (roughly) the flame is NE, the base SW.
		On the Farnese globe, Cassiopeia's arms are stretched upward over her head, as in Ptolemy (Toomer p.351) and modern depictions.

		The museum, originally royal stables, was established in 1777 by Ferdinand IV to house the Farnese art collection and the archeological finds from Pompeii, Herculaneum and other sites in Campania.
		Many of the marble statues on the ground floor are Roman copies of Greek originals, often the only surviving example of Greek masterpieces; the Tyrannicides Harmodius and Aristogiton and the Farnese Bull are two of the most spectacular examples.

	Best of Southern Italy, October 10, 2004: Naples, boat to Palermo
		The next interesting statue is taken from a fountain in Pompeii -- it's Aphrodite, vainly checking the reflection of her tuchas in the water.
		Another one from the "you learn something new every day" department: In a huge, epic marble piece, the "Toro Farnese" (Farnese Bull) that describes a myth of retribution, in the background stands an image of the Greek god of Justice -- or Revenge (ancient Greek made no distinction between the two).
		According to various descriptions, including this one, the dispassionate lady with the spear is actually Antiope, the mother of the two men who are struggling with the bull.) As it happens, Michaelangelo and his students are among those who worked on the repair of this piece, which had only recently been discovered at that time.

		Clearly these two pictures depict the same man, but they are obviously not the same sculpture.
		The marble bust directly above (and probably the bust of the older Apollonius as well) can be seen at the Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli in Italy, where the celebrated "Farnese Bull" shown below is also displayed.
		A compelling case can be made that the "Farnese Bull" was actually sculpted by Apollonius and his brother Hestiaeus (known subsequently as Tauriscus) and that Hestiaeus himself perhaps sculpted the two previous busts of Apollonius.

		But the piece I really came to see was the Farnese Bull.
		This single block of marble represents Dirce being tied to the horns of a bull, as punishment for trying to trick her stepsons into murdering their own mother.
