Description
"In
plan
it
follows
the
Etruscan
pattern
.
[...]
Moreover
, in an
effort
to
approximate
a
peripteral
Greek
temple
-
while
maintaining
the
basic
Etruscan
plan
-
the
architect
added
a
series
of
engaged
Ionic
half-columns
around
the
cella's
sides
and
back
. The
result
was a
pseudoperipteral
temple
, and,
although
it
combines
Etruscan
and
Greek
elements
, the
design
is
uniquely
Roman.
