The Temple of Apollo in Thermon
The temple of Apollo in thermon is in Aetolia,
Greece. Constructed by accent Greek, and used praise the god Apollo. Apollo has
been variously recognized as a god of music, truth and prophecy, healing, the
sun and light, plague, and poetry. It was named after the hero Thermos who was killed
by his own brother, Oxylos, who was crowned the king of Elis.
“The sanctuary was
destroyed by the Hellenic Kingdom of Macedonia in 218 and again in 206 BCE in
revenge for the Aetolian's destructions of Dion and Dodona, and it was
abandoned after the Roman conquest and the dispersal of the Aetolian League in
167 BCE.”My first impression on it I’ve noticed from its plans is that it is
the classical standard accent Greek. It has a lot of ornamentals It has ionic
capitals, a columns, and more than one entrance. It also doesn’t have one continues
material throughout the structure.
Temple of Fortuna Virilis
Temple of Fortuna Virilis is also known as
Temple of Portunus. It’s locate in Rome Italy. It is the typical example of ancient
roman architecture. It has a simple design, surrounding pillars, 1 entrance, a
raised platform, one continuous material and a pronaos. But it also has some
hints of Greek architecture. It has ionic capitals, and columns.
It was build for
praising the god portunus. Portunus is the god of keys, doors and livestock,
and so granaries. It is reported that this specific building was constructed
between 120-80 B.C.E. I like these perticullar styles of buildings because its
simple and iconic. Just looking at this piece speaks to the richness of the the
roman culture at this specific time.
