cymatium造句

• The cavetto took the place of the Greek cymatium in many temples, often painted with vertical " tongue " patterns ( as in the reconstructed Etruscan temple at Villa Giulia, illustrated above ), and combined with the distinctive " Etruscan round moulding ", often painted with scales.
• The remains of the entablature constitute a problem for dating, because there are two types of Cymatium with gutters and lion heads : the first, less well-preserved than the other, datable to the 460s BC and the second datable to around the middle of the fifth century.
• In general the Greeks made much more use of the cyma moulding, where a cavetto and ovolo were placed one above the other to produce a " S " shape; the cymatium using this was a standard part of the cornice in the classical Ionic order, and often used elsewhere.
• Probably the first cymatium is the original and was replaced by the second a few decades later ( for reasons unknown ), and therefore the temple's foundation is to be dated to the years before the Battle of Himera ( 480 BC ); its completion would have taken a decade or maybe a little more.
