| 説明 | Access colonnade, the Screen Colonnade, to the rich and elaborate Marble Court of the Roman gymnasium. The Marble Court was first built, along with the gymnasium proper, under Lucius Verus in 165 AD. At that time it served as an independent unit connected with - but did not lead directly into - the gymnasium. It was architecturally a part of the palaestra in front. In the early third century elaborate additions were made and a colonnade was erected between the Marble Court and the palaesra. This colonnade, the “Screen Colonnade”, consists of ten oval columns, the bases of which are still in situ, and a rectangular pier at each end. The long axis of the oval-shaped columns faced east-west, i.e. towards palaestra. The nature of these oval-shaped columns is well suited to a screen colonnade: with the shorter axis seen as one looked toward the inner court, from directly in front, the columns did not shut off the view, but rather provided a grand entrance way through which one could see inside, while approaching. On the other hand, when one approached from the sides, the longer axis of the columns would overlap, completely blocking off the view and acting as a solid wall; then as one moved toward the center, the view through the columns would gradually open up, and the grand effect of the Court would be unfolded to the eye.Source: Nancy L.
