Temple of Portunus

•

dates between 120BC and 80BC

•

near the Tiber river

•

which "looks nasty as it usually does, it's very green and not the sort of place you would want to take a swim in"

•

next to Temple of Portunus is round temple called the "Round Temple by the Tiber" for obvious reasons

•

the plan of Temple of Portunus

•

more like an Etruscan temple with Greek features

•

has steps in the front for a facade

•

deep porch with free standing columns

•

columns go all the way around (Greek), but they are not free standing (attached to the wall)

•

stone (Greek), not wood

•

Travertine stone from Tivoli

•

walls are made of tufa but pasted over with stucco, thus looked like a Greek temple

•

columns are in Ionic order

•

spiral volutes

•

you don't see the Etruscans using this

•

concrete was used inside the podium, can sustain great weight

•

ruble, liquid mortar and a dash of volcanic dust

•

has ionic frieze

•

was repurposed

•

probably one reason it is still in such good condition today

•

the Temple of Hercules

•

in Cori

•

medieval hill town

•

Romans found the best location in Cori for their temple, at the very peak of the hill

•

early 1st century BC

•

same Etruscan plan

•

single stair case

•

deep porch with free standing columns

•

has pilasters or flat columns

•

Greek Doric order

•

triglyphs and metopes

•

columns are fluted (have striations in them), but not fluted at the bottom

•

people are more likely to lean up against the columns which break off the flutes

•

ancient buildings and sculptures were often painted
