Notes
The base, as the caption indicates, is from the Pantheon, more specifically the fluted Corinthian order of the interior. With two toruses, two scotias and twin astragals, it is smaller but otherwise identical to the ‘Pantheon’ bases of the exterior portico (Fol. 82r/Ashby 136). It is meticulously recorded in an elevational drawing by Giuliano da Sangallo in the Codex Barberini, likewise depicting part of the base in section, and later representations include a drawing on a sheet of studies of the interior order by Antonio da Sangallo the Younger.
