FOOTNOTES

  •  The Latin inscription makes a comparison between the hunter carrying Diana and Zeus abducting Europa. The hunter is believed to be Orion, with hunting nets draped over his arm, who pursued Diana and she accidentally killed him with an arrow. The arrow surmounted with Diana's symbol, the crescent moon, is directed towards the hunter's heart; whether it is an arrow of love or death is debatable.
