What type of columns?

How many columns along the Front? What is a word we use For that number?

Side walls of the cella project out to form antae in the front and there is a deep prostyle porch where the porch columns are in front of the projecting ends of the cella. Unfluted Corinthian columns are used for the colonnade and the front row of the porch, while the interior columns of the porch are fluted and smaller than the exterior columns.

It has a colonnade on all 4 sides (peripteral). This is made up of 8 free-standing, columns (octastyle) at the front & back 15 on each long side. The statue was not in the cella like most temples, but within another structure called an adyton (an eastern feature), a very elaborate canopy in marble.

Has a vaulted ceiling & 2 towers with steps (an Eastern feature) on either side of the doorway The western end opposite the doorway had a stairway of 9 nine steps, the full width of the cella. The Inner raised podium had a central set of steps flanked by piers with 2 engaged corinthian columns. This central set of 6 steps lead to another podium where the statue of the god was in its shrine. On the exterior, Surrounding entrance to the cella is 2 bands of elaborate patterning – a vine motif (grape or ivy) represents Dionysus. - Acanthus leaves that sprout ears of wheat representing fertility and rebirth - Acanthus leaves that sprout ears of wheat representing fertility and rebirth Structural features

Decorative features The portico ceiling is elaborately carved with busts of Mars, Ceres, Vulcan, Ganymede and the doorway is surrounded by elaborate carving.

Engaged Corinthian columns and their pilasters divide the two interior side walls vertically, and these walls are also divided horizontally with a bottom row of arched niches carried on pilasters and an upper row of pedimented niches, which once held statues. Decorative features Interior: The projecting engaged columns and the spaces between, on the interior, give a feeling of movement. The elaborate and deeply carved decoration produces the effects of light and shade, reminiscent of Antonine Baroque sculpture.

The temple of Bacchus had a coffered ceiling
