The Tower with its rectangular shape perfectly fits between the two adjacent buildings and it raises on the arcade's trabeation which is supported by columns and pillars. |
These include parts of a cornice and trabeation with sculpted round loaves of bread and a large travertine block incised to look like a wicker basket. |
In our earlier discussion of trabeation, we pointed out the lintel as the weak element of the structure. |
The horizontal shelf above the columns is called the trabeation or entablature. |
At the entrance there is an arch with bas-relieves in the trabeation. |
The facade faced toward the Forum piazza with 19 columns surmounted on a trabeation. |
