THE FORUM TRIANGULARE AND THE GREEK TEMPLE Excavation of the Eoruni and tJie temple (1767-1797) : Fiorelli, Pomp, ant. hist., vol. i, pt. i, pp. 211, 276, 285, 286, 297. 307, 308, pt. 2, pp. 63-65.

The best description of the remains of the temple is given by Koldewey and Puchstein, Die griechischen Tempel in Unterita- lien und Sicilien (Berlin, 1899), pp. 45-49 and pi. 5; their conclusions are criticised by Mau, Rom. Mitth., vol. 15 (1900), pp. 126-128.

Mitth., vol. 6 (1891), pp. 258-267. The colonnade contained ninety-five Doric columns [p. 135] : there were in addition two half-columns at the south end; Plan III. in this respect is inexact. The number of columns is often given as one hundred. In script urns of the sundial and the pedestal [p. 136] : C. I. L. X. 831, 832. jVumber of columns in the temple front uneven [p. 137] : the steps are too broad for one intercolumniation, and must have been designed for two, as indicated in Fig. 62.
