Temple of Portunus발음듣기

[music] Dr. Steven Zucker: We're in Rome--standing near the Tiber looking at an ancient Roman temple--a temple that for a long time was misnamed Fortuna Virilis.발음듣기

Dr. Beth Harris: Temple of Manly Fortune it looks very much like what you expect a classical temple to look like it is small but it's got fluted columns--ionic capitals.발음듣기

Dr. Zucker: Ionic columns derived from the Greek--but this is clearly not a Greek temple.발음듣기

Dr. Harris: Right--it's different in important ways.발음듣기

Dr. Zucker: So for one thing it's on a raised platform and the platform only has steps in the front and the Greeks--if you think about the Parthenon for instance you would enter from the front or the back but in terms of actually rising up to the stylobate--you could ascend from any point.발음듣기

Dr. Harris: Right and I think about a Greek temple more as something where the worship took place outside of the temple--there was a statue of the god that would be inside but it sort of almost like a sculpture in the landscape and here it is more of a directional emphasis on front--on the porch.발음듣기

Dr. Zucker: And it's not just directional - but I think the worshiper is actually being directed in a very specific way so the Romans are in a sense controlling the way you use the building.발음듣기

Dr. Harris: And I think like a Greek temple--only the priest would have gone inside.발음듣기

Dr. Zucker: It also Roman in other important ways--not only does it have the single staircase in the front but the building extends out to the edge almost.발음듣기

Dr. Harris: There's larger interior space so that the columns at the sides and back are not freestanding columns--they're attached columns.발음듣기

Dr. Harris: Yeah--they're engaged--and that's a sort of particularly Roman thing the Greeks I don't think would have done that because the Greek used columns actually as structural devices.발음듣기

And here the columns are just purely decorative as you move back in order words the wall is doing the supporting the wall actually doing the work of holding up the roof so the building is not in great condition.발음듣기

Dr. Harris: It dates from 100 BC--so it's more than 2000 years old.발음듣기

Dr. Zucker: And it's still standing.발음듣기

Dr. Harris: And it's still here surrounded by the modern traffic of the city and we get a real sense of what an ancient Roman temple looked like from the period of the ancient Roman Republic.발음듣기

Dr. Zucker: It's really beautifully proportioned there's a wonderful kind of rhythm that's created by the columns as they move back.발음듣기

Dr. Harris: And it's got four columns across the front and two deep for that porch space and I think a lot of was based on the culture that lived here before.발음듣기

Dr. Zucker: The Etruscans?발음듣기

Dr. Harris: Yeah--I think actually that this borrows from ancient Etruscans architecture.발음듣기

Dr. Zucker: But I'm seeing lots of Greek influence--I'm seeing dentils I'm seeing as we mentioned before the ionic columns--the pediment all of which is really speaking of just how important the Greek president was for the Romans.발음듣기

Dr. Harris: It's going back in time--standing here and looking at it [music]발음듣기
