Architecture in Italy, from the sixth to the eleventh century; historical and critical researches . restored by Leo III. But the present church cannot boast of such high antiquity. 12 178 That prostyle, with architraved Ionic columns, those corniceschiefly of terracotta, those windows like loopholes, those longhands of masonry at the sides, and the plan of the church,. * Fig. 8G.—Ai-cliivolt of the Ciborium discovered at Porto, Rome— 795-816. which forms a cross at its npper end, are all cliaracteristic olthe churches of Neo-Latin style, erected after the eleventhcentury. And I think Kugler touched the mark in assigning itto the heginning of the thirteenth century, before 1221, in whichyear it was the object of a consecration. To see some remains of sculpture of the time of Leo have only to go to the Lateran Museum, in which aredeposited, among various capitals, the remains of an altar-ciborium, discovered a few years ago among the ruins of an oldbasilica of Porto—a city once situated by the sea at the mouthof the Tiber, near the famous Port of Trajan. Several of thosecapitals have all the physiognomy of rough Ionic capitals orcomposites, such as Italian artificers of the eighth century couldproduce One may also find there the whole arched front of aciborium bearing the following inscription :— + SALBO BEATISSIMO DOMN LEONE TEETH
