ANOTHER VIEW OF THE STANDING COLUMNS OF THE TEMPLE OF JUPITER: ATHENS 



The Temple of Jupiter was begun in the sixth century B. C. and reundertaken by 

 Antiochus Epiphanes four hundred years later. Still later, being unfinished. Sulla took some 

 of the columns to Rome to the Capitoline Temple. In the reign of Augustus a society of 

 princes made an effort to finish it. and at last Hadrian did so. A hermit, during the Middle 

 Ages, lived on top of the columns, letting down a basket for pious passers-by to fill with 

 provisions every day.
