CHAPTER XX. THE FORUM TRIANGULARE AND THE GREEK TEMPLE
Excavation of the Forum and the temple (1767-1797): Fiorelli, Pomp. ant. hist., vol. 1, pt. 1, pp. 211, 276, 285, 286, 297, 307, 308, pt. 2, pp. 63-65.
Remains of the temple, restoration: Mazois, Les ruines de Pompéi, vol. 3, pp. 17-22, pl. 8-10. Especially attractive are the sketches and restorations given by Weichardt, Pompeji vor der Zerstörung, pp. 17-33, pl. 1, 2 (reproduced in our [pl. 3]), and 3. The best description of the remains of the temple is given by Koldewey and Puchstein, Die griechischen Tempel in Unteritalien und Sicilien (Berlin, 1899), pp. 45-49 and pl. 5; their conclusions are criticised by Mau, Röm. Mitth., vol. 15 (1900), pp. 126-128. See also von Duhn and Jacobi, Der griechische Tempel in Pompeji (Heidelberg, 1890); Sogliano, Il tempio nel Foro triangolare di Pompei, Mon. dei Lincei, vol. 1 (1890), pp. 189-200; both these contributions are reviewed by Mau, Röm. Mitth., vol. 6 (1891), pp. 258-267.
The colonnade contained ninety-five Doric columns [[p. 135]]: there were in addition two half-columns at the south end; [Plan III] in this respect is inexact. The number of columns is often given as one hundred.
Inscriptions of the sundial and the pedestal [[p. 136]]: C. I. L. X. 831, 832.
Number of columns in the temple front uneven [[p. 137]]: the steps are too broad for one intercolumniation, and must have been designed for two, as indicated in [Fig. 62].
Human bones found in the enclosure [[p. 139]]: Romanelli, Viaggio a Pompei (1811), p. 104 (Edit. 2, 1817, p. 182), "Vi furono trovati molti avanzi di cadaveri sepolti." Excavations made here at the suggestion of Professor Mau brought to light few traces of bones.
