278 TEMPLE OF DIANA.

the Parthenon also it has recently been discovered
that statues stood in front of each column, as
evidenced by the traces on the marble steps.1 It
appears also from Pausanias, (ii. 17,) that the
Temple of Juno in Eubcea had statues in front of
the columns of the principal entrance; for, after
telling us that statues stood " before the entrance,"
(7rpo rr\s sa-odoo,) he says,—'• But in the pronaos,
(Ev 3s r(p cygovaco,) there were other statues; " thus
rendering it clear that those he first spoke of were
before the pronaos, and. consequently before the
front columns. On a coin of Hadrian a decastyle
temple is represented, supposed to be the Temple
of Venus and Rome, with four statues in front of
the columns, (the tAvo outside columns and two of
the intermediate.) There is also a monumental
column on each side, surmounted by a statue.2 On
a coin of Vespasian's, a hexastyle temple is repre-
sented with a statue on each return front,3 and the
same is shown on one of Domitian's;4 a similar
arrangement of a tetrastyle temple appears on a
coin of the same emperor ;6 and on a coin of Geta's

and sides. And, lest it should be objected that the number of
statues I have shown in my plan is improbable, it should be remem-
bered that no fewer than five hundred brazen statues were taken
from the temple at Delphi on one occasion.—(See page 306.)
