5. 5 Republic Rome Temple of Portunus Rome, Italy - ca. 75 BC EARLY REPUBLIC ROMAN A superb example of Roman eclecticism is the Temple of Portunus, the Roman god of harbors. Follows the Etruscan pattern: High podium is accessible only at the front, with its wide flight of steps. Freestanding columns are confined to the deep porch. The structure is built of stone overlaid originally with stucco in imitation of the white marble temples of the Greeks. The columns are Ionic, complete with flutes and bases. In an effort to approximate a peripteral Greek temple - while maintaining the 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. Model of a typical Etruscan Temple 6th Century BC
