Mosquito 0 Report post Posted March 22, 2007 (edited) I know what I thought on the begining. For me the first picture was looking just like the temple of Vesta on the Roman forum but after watching second picture I realised it was somthing different. http://images.google.pl/imgres?imgurl=http...l%3Dpl%26sa%3DN Edited March 22, 2007 by Mosquito Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maladict 0 Report post Posted March 22, 2007 It's Baalbek, isn't it? A temple, of Venus I'd guess, but I could be wrong. Definately Baalbek, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Klingan 2 Report post Posted March 22, 2007 It's Baalbek, isn't it? A temple, of Venus I'd guess, but I could be wrong.Definately Baalbek, though. Correct very nice It's the tempel of Venus at Baalbek in the province of Syria, built in the first half of the 3rd century ad in Serverian baroque style. Whats quite special about this temple is the entablature and base that are curved into the cella walls from the columns. Your turn! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whats quite special about this temple is the entablature and base that are curved into the cella walls from the columns. It's a spectacular little building The columns are part of the city's forum. The building in the background is there to help you out.....a little bit. I'm off to bed, back in about 6 hours with a hint if necessary. Happy guessing!

Maladict 0 Report post Posted March 23, 2007 (edited) Antioch? No. I can't believe you fell for it Hint: It was listed as one of the nine largest cities by a contemporary author. That should narrow it down a bit. Edited March 23, 2007 by Maladict Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Augusta 1 Report post Posted March 23, 2007 Well, on the ground of architecture I afraid that Im a complete ignorant. I can tell the difference between circus and aqueduct or temple but thats all. LOL - same here. I can tell the difference between Ionian, Doric and Corinthian columns and I know what a caryatid is - after that, I'm sunk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
