The inter columnations measure 3 metres,
the columns stand upon a low pedestal of 1m 20 sq
and 50cm high. The base of the column is
35cm high. The shaft 6m 84 high, 1m in diam
at the bottom and 80cm at the top. The caps are
1m. high and range from 1m. 40 to 1.m. 15 in width
at top. The simple fluted columns have 24
flutings, the twisted only 20.

The entablature is composed of three pieces,
an architrave 60cm high, a frieze 68cm high,
and a cornice 60cm in height. The architrave
has in some cases but three members counting the
moulding at the top and in other form.

The frieze is sometimes plain and sometimes
provided with carved triglyphs and metopes 40cm
and 53cm wide respectively. All of these
measurements are taken from fragments.

All the architectural ornament, which is
executed in a limestone none too fine, is rather
flat in its present condition but must have
originally given an effect of considerable richness
