The temples of Baccltus, and of Faunus. 
I {hall not particularly recite the meafures of thefe 
buildings, becaufe they feem to be the works of a 
much later age than any of the reft. By the different 
workmanfhip of the fliafts of the columns in the 
temple of Bacchus (4), it fce«ns to have been com- 
piled out of the ruins of other buildings. In the 
temple of Faunus, moft of the columns are of gra- 
nite) but fome of them of white marble ; the crofs 
wall was evidently defigned to fupport a flat loot, 
the outer wall being too weak to bear a cupola ( j) ; 
and the windows (which I take to be as old as e 
reft of the building) are in the Gothic ftyle : _ all 
which are marks of a late age. Therefore both 
thefe temples feem to be more modern than they are 
commonly thought to be. The temple of Bacchus
