Re: Temple Hill
In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 215):
The statue looks like it pivots to point at the blank archways. The four of them each have a different type of column: each of them has fluted columns, the entry you came through has smooth ones, with scrollwork tops.
The doric colums are fluted, with simple rounded capitals.
The ionic columns are fluted and have scrolling capitals similar to the tucan columns you entered through.
The Corinthian columns are fluted and have capitals shaped like curled leaves.
The Composite columns are fluted and have a blend of both leaf and scroll shaped capitals.
The altar is simple, supported by four tuscan columns like the doorway, and has simple panels between the colums, marked with a frieze of spirals. The top of the altar has no signs of the kind of marks that blood sacrifice leave.
The book on the altar is not written in a script you know, feels wrong, and should be brought to the Hadereum.
The statue of Janus has good workmanship, and is orthodox in its theological representation, suitable to the same pantheon as Hades.
