Abstract
The Pompeii Forum Project presents four previously unreported design features within the Sanctuary of Apollo at Pompeii that contribute to a fuller understanding of the sanctuary’s architectural history. These are (1) a precise design relationship between the pier wall that marks the eastern temenos of the sanctuary, and the colonnade within the sanctuary; (2) differences in construction technique, materials, and alignment between the two southernmost piers of the pier wall and the rest of the series (the third from the south is anomalous and is treated separately); (3) evidence indicating that the exterior of the present temple podium wraps around and conceals an earlier podium, now encased within the present structure; and (4) details of the form of the encapsulated temple can be reconstructed on the basis of the cella’s pilasters. Points 3 and 4 are discussed below under the subheading A New Phase of the Temple of Apollo. These four different architectural conditions dovetail perfectly with each other and with the ceramic evidence from the excavations by the Pompeii Forum Project that date the sanctuary’s monumentalization, including the pier wall, to the Augustan period . The Pompeii Forum Project remains grateful to the Soprintendenza speciale per i beni archeologici di Pompei, Ercolano e Stabia and to the Direzione degli Scavi for facilitating our research. The authors are grateful for the assistance and observations of Zach Jones.
