Or perhaps he just spent too much time playing Assassin’s Creed Odyssey
Anon discovers religion, inshallah may the spirits watch over him.
That is a Roman temple, not Greek >:(
It's a fork of Greek temple.
Open source temple
Ah, a man of culture as well I see
Why? (Honest question)
But the columns are Ionic, it uses a post and lintel method, the entablature is not Etruscan and the front room could well be a cella.
At the same time it is true that the peristyle colonnade is not there, which matches some Etruscan styled temples (just columns on front), though both the Temple of Athena and the Erechtheion don't have a peristyle colonnade.
For what steps are regarded, some temples only had crepidoma across the front façade, like the Lycosura temple, which would both match the frontal colonnade with no perimeter and the frontal crepidoma that doesn't have sterobates around the temple (like is common).
So while unorthodox, I don't see why this would be Etruscan or "Roman".
Ah I see. Per usual the issue is more complex and nuanced than I thought. Thank you for the information :)
Happy holidays!
Those are… words… I think.
Fuck if I know, but it looks a lot like the Temple of Portunus...
Capitel and colums are in greek style, maybe the stairs give it away?
That's a great observation, after all that temple is a hybrid between Etruscan and Greek. (And the columns indeed are Ionic).
Welcome to modern paganism. Next he's going to realize that community celebrations at significant points of the year like solstices and planting and harvesting time are really good for your mind.
Especially in the middle of winter, the most depressing time of year in much of the world.
The middle of winter... Oh Valentine's Day?
Whatever gets you through this hellscape, baby
Anon better not read too much Greek mythology. Their gods were anything but benevolent much of the time.
Anon better not be a cute twink
"CHOWDA! That Greek boy-pussy got me questioning my loyalty to Rome!"
It's anon we're talking about, they're definitely a twink, but I wouldn't exactly describe them as "cute."
That's like me and the machine God. I swear it makes a difference when my hardware is acting up.
Praise the Omnissiah.
The Omnissiah blesses us, truly. I recently invoked their power to repair a ceiling light, and with a standard invocation of healing and the expected percussive blessing, and the once broken light was working again.
All praise to the Omnissiah for easing the machine's pain!
A prayer before every release is what keeps our servers running.
When I can see Jupiter, I always say "Jupiter is with us!!" It's going to be depressing when it's no longer out in the mornings before I go to work. Hopefully Saturn or the Moon can keep me company instead
I usually use the orishas. I just like them more when talking to imaginary beings.
