CHAPTER VI.

RESTORATION OF THE MAUSOLEUM.

BY MR. E. P. PULLAN.

Scanty evidence for a restoration of the Mausoleum afforded by
the Architectural Marbles found in situ. Data assumed in the
following inquiry. Lieut. Smith's Restoration. Pliny's descrip-
tion of the Mausoleum. Main points in this description.
Method of inquiry here adopted. Size of the Apex of the
Pyramid ; how obtained. Steps of the Pyramid ; their mode
of structure and dimensions. Size of the base of the Pyramid ;
how obtained ; its height, inclusive of chariot group. The Oi'der.
Position of the columns relatively to the base of the Pyramid.
Identification of different members of the order—architrave,
transverse beam, frieze, cornice. Dimensions of the cella and
peristyle. Structure of lacunaria. Peculiar manner in which they
were supported. Friezes on wall of cella. Position of Lions.
Height of the order; how calculated. The columns. Entire
height of the edifice. Dimensions of the Podium ; how ascer-
tained. Interior of the tomb. Sepulchral chamber. Domical
structure of the roof of the cella. Employment of colour in the
decoration of the architecture.

It will have been remarked by all who bave
read carefully the preceding narrative of tlie dis-
coveries on the site of the Mausoleum, that the
marbles affording evidence as to the form and
construction of the building were very few in
number. About twenty varieties of architectural
stones were brought to light, in most cases so much
damaged by exposure to weather, or defaced by
having been used in the adjoining walls and houses,
