Notes
The details shown here and in Adam vol.26/97 are from the Temple of Jupiter Tonans (Vespasian) in the Forum. The columns were not full excavated until 1813, and the details shown here were widely studied in the nineteenth Prix de Rome measured drawings (see H. d'Espouy, Fragments d'Architecture Antique, 2 vols., Paris, 1905, p.13, pl.93; and G.L. Taylor & E. Cresy, The Architectural Antiquities of Rome, 2 vols., London, 1821, vol.II, p.17).
