Paestum. Italy. The rear (facing west) and Sothern side of the Temple of Athena (of Ceres) located in the northern end of the site. Dating from 500 BC, the temple is the smallest of the three temples at Paestum and consisted of 34 fluted Doric columns - 6 by 13. The Temple is somewhat unique in that the inside porch was fronted by eight Ionic columns, which was the first time in Greek architecture that the Doric and Ionic styles were combined.
