Cyclopedia of architecture, carpentry, and building : a general reference work . Fig. Doric columns, carrying an entablature. This is the earliestRoman instance of the use of the Orders in this fashion, and dates 169 172 STUDY OF THE ORDERS from about 78 B. C. The Temple of Fortuna Virilis (Fig. 123), inwhich the cohimns were engaged, with a plain wall surface between,after the fashion possibly suggested by one or two of the earlierGreek structures, is of a date earlier than the arcade of theTabularium. A reference to Figs. 98 and 99 will show the radically differentappearance given by thus applying an Order of architecture as an. Fig 99. ornament upon the face of a method of construction complete in Fig. 98 is shown a simple arcade supported on plain piers (A, ); and in Fig. 99 is drawn oiit a similar arcade ornamented by theapplication of the Doric Order to the face of these plain piers, aftertlie fashion shown in plan at B, Fig. 100. This use of the Order produces an effect very different from thatof the one or two examples of the use of attached columns already ex-isting in Greek architecture, although it is probable that these mayhave suggested the application of the column to the face of a plain wall;a method of which the Romans had already availed themselves in theTemple of Fortuna Virilis at Rome. This example may easily havebeen copied from the similar use of the Order in the large Temple ofJupiter Olympus at Agrigentum, or in the Monument of Lysicratesat Atliens. In both these Greek structures the columns are apparently planted 170
