Description

At Akoris in middle Egypt, romanized colonnade was constructed in the front of Western Temple Area in the 2nd century A.D. Setting marks for the base of the colonnade, which provide the information about the construction method, were found on the foundation stones. The colonnade shows areostyle proportion coming from the intercol- umniations. However the base stones were not arranged on lines indicating the centre of plinthes below as well as that of columns above, but were put between the setting marks indicating the rebated surfaces of the baces above. In other words, the setting marks did not indicate the design principles, but instructed the workmen to put the bases on the right places.
