This plate gives the plan of the Temple of Fortune at Pompeii.

There are some remarkable circumstances to be observed, for the pillars of the portico, having left no traces of their situation on the pavement, have been placed only to correspond with the lateral pilasters. Such an arrangement, however, does not suit the columns in front, which might have agreed better with three pillars in the flanks, provided they were placed close to the upper step. Even then other inconveniences would have arisen.

Several of the capitals of white marble, with the capitals of the antae, remain, and assist in the determination of the diameters, for the shafts no longer exist.

The iron rails closing up one half of the access by the lower flight of stairs are singular.
