Agrigento

Six by Thirteen

A peristasis of six columns by thirteen, raised about 440 BC. The Bureau records it as the best preserved of its kind and attributes this to the absence of later improvement. The temple stands on a crepidoma of four steps; the shafts are six metres high, cut with twenty flutes and given the slight swelling the Greeks used to correct the eye. The Bureau notes that the correction was applied to a building most viewers would see from below, where it is least needed, and admires the thoroughness.

The source image

The badge is drawn, not photographed. Each drawing works from a reference image in the public domain or under a free licence — a photochrom print, a photograph, an etching. Here is the one used for this destination, and why it was chosen.

The drawing follows an 1890 photochrom print held by the Library of Congress, taken when the town was still called Girgenti. The temple stands entire: six columns across the front, thirteen along the flank, both pediments up. It is that count, not the idea of a ruin, which tells Concordia from the other temples in the valley. The temple was built about 440-430 BC, and its peristasis of six columns by thirteen stands on a crepidoma of four steps. If it is whole where so many others are not, that is because it was turned into a church in the sixth century: the walls were pierced and the intercolumniations filled, and that alteration held it up. The Bureau counts this as conservation by use, a method it recommends without reserve.
