Antae temple

The Ante temple (from the Latin: templum in antis ) is one of the oldest and simplest forms of the Greek temple. It consists of a rectangular room ( cella ) with vestibule ( pronaos ). The porch is formed from the antennas and two intermediate columns arranged. The temple in antis has a rotating front and long sides entablature, the architrave was often replaced by a further layer of stone. This distinguishes him from the Naos of a ring temple hall ( Peripteros ), in which the entablature of the pronaos usually ends at the Ante corners. As a temple in antis about the Treasury of the Athenians at Delphi or the Dionysus temple in Miletus need to be addressed. The Romans took over the building type, the spread was therefore at least to the 3rd century throughout the Mediterranean.

A temple, on the back of formants are also present, which form a opisthodomos there is called a double anta temple. Absence of the column positions between the antennas, one speaks of a Astylos.
