Exterior View of a Temple, Perhaps Dedicated to Portunus
Download Without Watermark With Free Membership
Description
Forum Boarium (Cattle Market), Rome. Late 2nd century BCE.

Like the Etruscans, the Romans built urban temples in commercial centers as well as in special sanctuaries.
Roman architects liberated the form of the column from its post-and-lintel structural roots and put it onto the surface of the wall as a decorative feature.


Roman temples are defined in relation to interior spaces, which visitors are invited to enter through one opening along the longitudinal axis of a symmetrical plan.
