decorated with irregular stars - roses, or twig heads,
of unequal size and distance: At page 33 1 N. is given
the placing of rht two orders and intermediate shaft
in the doorway jamb of the outer gate of cortile;
the section showing the oblique setting of the beauti-
ful capital head.

the street beneath " Spectato .
