Tin: loggia os the temple, by what is to be scen os it, was made os pilasters, and had
three openings. In the inward part of the temple there were columns placed two and two
which supported the cuba.
All theie columns are os granate ; and the basts, the capitals, and the cornice os marble.
The bales arc in the Artick manner. The capitals are os the Composite order, very beau-
tisul, and have some leaves which project srom the rosa, srom which the voluta's seem to
iprlng very gracesully- The architrave, the srize, and the cornice are not very well Wrought-
which makes me believe that this temple was not made in good times, but in those os
the latter emperors. It is very rich with works, and with various compartments; part os
them of beautisul (tones, and part os Mosaic work, as well in the pavement, as in the
walls, and in the vaults.
Os this temple I have made three plates.

cortile had double loggia's; and on each tide os the said entrance there were rooms, that mull
have served sor the ule os the priests.
Tin: temple was in the middle os the cortile. The part that is to be seen, and is railed
from the ground, upon which was the floor os the temple, is moil folid work, and
receives light only srom the doors, and srom six fmall windows that are in the niches,
and therefore it is fomewhat dark, as all the aotient temples are. In the fore part of this
temple, oppoiite to the entrance into the cortile, there are the soundations of the portico j but
the columns have been taken away. I have nevertheless placed them of the bignefs, and
distance, that by the faid soundations may He known they were of. And becuufe none

the plan is defigned.
