classicalmonuments:Temple of ArtemisTermessos, Pisidia, Asia Minor (Turkey)2nd century CEAbove the steep abyss, which bounded the city of Termessos in the south. there was a row of extraordinary buildings, among them - facing the rising sun - the grandest temple, an hexastyle ionic peripteros dedicated to Artemis. No stone or column drum remains erect, though a large part of the floor mosaic has been preserved, in the middle of which a large stone threshold has remained unmoved. The presence of this mosaic and countless work pieces from the raising of the temple - among those column drums and lintels - made the pictorial restoration of the temple possible.There were six columns on the narrow sides and eleven columns on the long ones of the temple.The frieze, which is provided with an egg stick and otherwise not decorated, protrudes strongly upwards.
