Architectural details[edit]

I have expanded the description with architectural details from The Roman Empire (c) copyright 2002 TASCHEN GmbH Holhenzollenring 53, D-50672 Kōln www.taschen.com. That's the imprint as printed in the Taschen book. Despite its inept title this a serious and very detailed book is about Roman architecture. The author and editor is Henri Stierlin, born 1928 in Alexandria, studied Greek and Latin in Zurich and Lausanne, was editor-in-chief of the 16 volume Architecture Universelle published by Editions de L'Office du Livre. He "has devoted intensive study to the field of classical architecture, published Le Monde de la Grèce Paris 1980, and Grèce d'Asie Paris 1986."

The details I've described can be seen on the plan drawing (second image in the article [Image:Dehio 6 Basilica of Maxentius Floor plan.jpg] .

Name[edit]

Does anyone have an example for the building being called "Basilica Maxentius" (note the absence of "of")? Never read that one... Varana 21:25, 2 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ask User:Panairjdde, the editor who contributed that version of the building's name --- "Basilica Maxentius" --- when the article was created

Architectural details[edit]

The Portico never ended the way as Dehio's plan shows: Instead, the most precise measuring drawings from the Renaissance (Berlin, Kunstbiblbiothek, HDZ 4151 = so-called "Codex Destailleur D", fol. 11r/v) show a small apsis at the northern end – and for symmetry reasons, we may assume that the other end looked the same.
