thickness of the cella wall would appear as 2 feet, of the antae
walls as 2.2 feet, the width of the naos door as 5.5 feet, the
lower diameter of the column as 3 feet, etc. A suggestion,
perhaps more plausible, has been made by my friend Richard
Bohn, architect of the excavations at Pergamon, that the
dimensions were respectively 9 and 90 feet, of a consequent
length of 0.337 metre. The breadth of the naos interior would
thus appear as 20 feet, its length as 5 3 feet, etc.
For those not accustomed to the metric system it may be
stated that one hundred English feet equal 30.479 metres, or
less than six inches more than the length of the stylobate.
To serve in comparison with the useful table compiled by
Krell, in his Geschichte des Dorischen Stils, the proportions of
the temple of Assos may be given as follows: —
Distance from axis to axis of the side columns, measured
by halves of the lower diameter....... 5.35
Width of the side and rear pteroma remaining between the
inner side of the peripteral columns and the cella
wall, measured by the lower diameter..... 2.31
Semper's norm 1 for the sides......----?r5-----------
10.45 + 4.40=14.85
/column 61.0
Scale of heights, that of the frieze being J epistyle 10.5
assumed as 10: =.......j frieze 10.0
^ corona 5.3
Height of column in lower diameters....... 5.23
Proportion of height of capital to height of column . . 1: 9.96
ton, in The Dimensions and Proportions of the Temple of Zeus at Olympic, in the
Proceedings of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, Boston, 1877, p. 150.
1 Compare Gottfried Semper, Der Stil, etc. Miinchen, 1863, vol.ii.,p.411. If
three inter-columniations, from axis to axis of the columns, be taken as the base
of a rectangle, the side of which is equal to the height of the order, —calculated
from the upper edge of the stylobate to the summit of the corona, exclusive of
the gutter, — the normal proportion of plan and elevation, or as it is concisely
termed the " norm " of a temple, is graphically represented. When expressed
in figures, one-half the lower diameter of the shaft serves as the unit, the dimen-
sions of the column and entablature being given separately.
