This plate represents the general view of the court of the College of the Augustales, so commonly called the Pantheon that a stranger would find it by no other name.

The drawing is taken from the extremity nearest to the Forum. The indications of the bases of the columns are visible on the pavement, but none of the shafts now remain. The twelve piers, or square pilasters, which probably supported a dome or roof in the centre of the hypaethrum, but which some imagine to have been pedestals for the statues of twelve gods, are distinguishable. The opposite side of the quadrangle is occupied by a temple or sacellum in the centre, with an apartment on each side, of which descriptions are given in this work. In the temple were niches for statues. It is probable that there were no pillars on that side of the court nearest to the cell, the front of which would have been impaired, and its light diminished by a colonnade in that position.
