Description
View of the ruins of cella walls from the Second Temple of Hera at Samos, Greece. "A rebuilt Hekatompedon on same site as the first. Cella remained same size, but colonnade increased and central row of columns removed from cella. Colonnade was square wooden piers resting on cult stone round bases. Inside cella a bench-like projection ran around 3 walls. This may have served for seating or as base for interior supports to reduce free span of the roof. Temple may have stood on earth podium as at the North Building,"--Perseus Digital Library.
