介绍（中）	罗纳河谷的罗马陶器的特点是挥霍无度地使用浮雕奖章应用于其花瓶的外表面。这个模具很可能被用来制作这样的奖章，还有另一个同样的例子，现在在法国伊瑟雷斯的圣日耳曼博物馆。这个古老的粘土模具（以及附近展示的由它制成的现代石膏盒）证明了这种浮雕的图像和绘画复杂性。这里描绘的场景显示，水星和他的传令官的法杖，穿着斗篷和带翅膀的鞋子，坐在他圣所的一块岩石上，左上角的寺庙立面表示。他坐在一个燃烧的祭坛前，一个披着羽绒的男性形象正在祭祀他的祭坛上，而长笛演奏者则提供音乐伴奏。左下角的小公羊可能是预期的受害者。墨丘利脚右边的暗示了他从这种生物的壳中发明了七弦琴，这是他神话中的早期插曲，保存在荷马赞美诗中，以致他的希腊同行赫尔墨斯。
介绍（英）	The Roman pottery of the Rhone Valley is characterized by the profligate use of relief medallions applied to the exterior surface of their vases. This mold was likely used to make such a medallion, and there is another identical example as well, now in the Musee de Saint Germain, Iseres, France. This ancient clay mold (and the modern plaster case made from it displayed nearby) attests to the iconographical and pictorial complexity of such reliefs. The scene depicted here shows Mercury with his herald's staff, wearing a cape and winged shoes, seated on a rock in his sanctuary, indicated by the temple facade in upper left. He sits before a flaming altar, at which a sacrifice in his honor is being performed by a draped male figure, while a flute player provides musical accompaniment . A small ram at the lower left is perhaps the intended victim. The tortoise to the right of Mercury's foot alludes to his invention of the lyre from the shell of this creature, an early episode in his mythology preserved in the Homeric Hymn to Hermes, his Greek counterpart.
