BACKGROUND : ATHENS 



There were 104 columns in the Temple of Jupiter. The temple was surrounded by a 

 terrace, and the substructure on which the columns rest is still almost wholly intact. It was 

 the largest but two of all the temples of the world, only those of Ephesus and Selinus 

 excelling it. Measuring on the upper platform, it was 134^ feet broad and 353^ feet long.
