are smoothly finished and seem
to have been painted.

The exterior surface of the walls is not
plain but is relieved by shallow
pilasters - six on the sides and four at the end.
The bases of these pilasters are raised
upon a low, continuous base mould - the
caps are of a rich Corinthian order
Above these is an ornamental frieze
and cornice of some richness

At the east end one may see that
this temple, like most Roman temples
of the period, was raised upon a
basement. The cornice of this basement
which is buried near the front on either
side, is visible and projects to
give a footing for the pilaster bases.

On the north side of the temple, between
the first two pilasters is a small
niche of semicircular section - which
seems to have been cut in the wall.
