Plate 10. The Temple of Nemesis at Rhamnus, continued

Figure 1 shows a section of the entablature. The epistyle or architrave, similar to that of the Parthenon, was constructed of two pieces of marble side by side, with their unworked surfaces towards each other, only a few inches of their lower edges being finished so that the joint was hardly visible. The repetition of the regula on the inner beams is entirely without motive. The ceiling beams rest in part on the blocks of the corona. The inner panels of the ceiling show gilded stars on a blue ground. These panels are separated by pearl beading.

Each block of the wedge shape gutter or eave stone was the width of two tiles. At the lower Fig. 5 is shown one of these stones, and the underside of a cover tile; the upper Fig. 5 shows a section of both tiles.

At Fig. 8 is shown in plan the different parts of the entablature; a, architrave blocks; b, frieze; c, corona; d, eave stones; e, roof covering; f, beams of the posticum; g, beams of the side hall or peristyle; h, stone course resting on the frieze of the cella.

On this plate, Fig. 6, is the capital of the antæ at the west end, which is very similar to that of the antæ of the Parthenon. The shaft of the antæ has a slight taper.
