$a Spon is best known for his travels with Sir George Wheler, and for the two influential publications - his own Voyage d'Italie, de Dalmatie, de Grece et du Levant (1678), and Wheler's A journey into Greece (1682). In 1679 he argued that antiquities were more useful to historians than literary sources (Résponse à la critique publiée par M. Guillet). The present dissertations are on thirty-one subjects (those not by Spon are indicated): 1. a silver clypeus of Ottavio Mey at Lyons; 2. a mosaic of M. Cassaire at Lyons; 3. a bas-relief of Syrian gods; 4. rites of Arval Brethren; 5. the wedding of Cupid and Psyche; 6. Hermes, Hermathenes, Hermanubes, Hermheracles; 7. Harpocrates and Panthea; 8. cymbals and other musical instruments; 9. two ancient buildings of Nimes and Vienne; 10. a Latin inscription on a ring [by M. Peiresk to M. Holstenius]; 11. gold and silver rings; 12. a medal of Severus and Julia Domna; 13. a painting found near the Colosseum; 14. a medal of Commodus; 15. a medal of Trebonian [by A. Galland]; 16. the invention of spectacles [by F. Redi to P. Falconieri]; 17. the judgment of Paris on a medal of Antoninus Pius [by Patin to A. Morosini]; 18. the Manes; 19. an ancient vase of M. Gaillard, Englishman [to M. Graverol]; 20. tomb-inscription on a relative of the counts of Toulouse [by F. Graverol]; 21. an antiquity newly discovered at Paris [by du Molinet]; 22. a medal of King Pylaemenes [by S. Fesch to M. Hollandier]; 23. an inscription at Rome on an Aesculapian society; 24. use of medals in studying physiognomy; 25. the staff of Moses [to M. Graverol]; 26. a medal of Caracalla showing dancers [by M. de Camps]; 27. denial that all doctors at Rome were slaves or were ever banished; 28.
