The awkwardnessof this solution is displayed by the fact that the architect was drivento place between the faces of his piers an additional dado or solidbalustrade in order to act as a parapet for the corridors in the sec-ond and third stories—an architectural makeshift that he would un-iloubtedly have nuich preferred to omit.

OF ANTON1NV5 ? 6. coliunns are used on the face ofan arcade, the columns areshown spaced apart 4^ diame-ters; while the practice of Pal-ladio, Scamozzi, a n d Vignola,where the column is used alone,is to space them apart from threeto four diameters, or four to fivediameters, on centers. The Ionic intercolumniationshown in Fig. 144, again indi-cates the arrangement of theTheater of Marcellus, and showsbelow it the spacing of Palladio,Scamozzi, and Vignola. It mustbe remembered that in the The-ater of Marcellus, the IonicOrder occurs directly over theDoric Order below; and in bothinstances the column is attached to a wall, and is separated from its neighbor by the arches of the arcade. Roman Corinthian column spacing is shown in several of the weli- known examples in Fig. 145; in addition to which the dimensions and j>roportions of the columns on some of the principal temples are as follows: In the Temple of Vesta at Tivoli, where the columns are 18 feet 5 inches hig
