QUOTE (sylla @ Oct 9 2009, 07:54 AM)  Isn’t it possible that at least some of the artistic scratch used for this temple was first built by classical Pagans, even under Christian (or Germanic non-Christian) rule? Oh definately, but the thing is they chose to build a classical temple-style building out of it, instead of a basilica-style church. |

QUOTE (Maty @ Oct 9 2009, 06:26 PM) Slightly off topic, but here's a temple that became a church . . . . and then became a 3D cinema ! I'll recomend it to anyone who visits Nîmes. You get it included in your ticket if you visit the Amphitheatre and the Tour Magne (Roman Tower). There's precious little Roman stuff left in the interior, but the film is quite enjoyable. Sorry . . . off-topic slightly. |
