towerlike structures in each of its four angles.

On the exterior both ends are similar,
consisting of a broad recessed arch
at the back of which is a narrower portal
with huge lintel relieved by an open
arch extending up to the level of the outer arch.

The greater arches spring from pilasters
with simple Corinthian caps. These are
flanked by other pilasters which are
carried up to the architrave of the temple
and corresponding to the corner pilasters.

The sides of the building are quite plain
except for four pilasters which mark -
by a slight break in the line of the
building - the walls of the angle towers within.

The cornice is heavy but of simple design
but the eastern gable contains sculptures
in relief on either side of a small window.
These reliefs represent two figures of Roman
type and probably represent members
of the imperial family rather than
mythological subjects.
