quadriporticus การใช้
- Eastern stoa of the colonnaded square or " quadriporticus " at Pessinus ( Photograph by A . Verlinde ).
- The quadriporticus was an annex of the Hellenistic citadel on the promontory to the east, which preceded the early imperial temple.
- The building itself was a part of a multi-use complex that included a large quadriporticus directly behind the " Scaenae frons ."
- After the quadriporticus was destroyed, it was not rebuilt during the early Roman period, as the area may have been used as an unpaved arena for the gladiatorial fights of the temple.
- Being quite similar to the latter complex, the Pessinuntian square was reconstructed by Verlinde as a'quadriporticus'with a Rhodian peristyle, that is with a high ( Ionic ) colonnade to the north, and three lower wings with Doric columns.
- The "'Porticus of Pompey "'( known under various names, including the " Ambulatio Magni " and " Hecatostylon " or " Hall of a hundred pillars " ) was a large quadriporticus located directly behind the scaenae frons of the Theatre of Pompey.
- The full structure consisted of a large theatre section, incorporating a temple, a pulpitum or stage, scaenae frons and cavea ( seating ) at one end, a large quadriporticus that surrounded an extensive garden and housed Pompey's collection of art and literature and the curia itself at the opposite end from the theatre.
