There’s an infamous company of crypto-currency where I live named Quadriga, but this is the Quadriga that matters in my life.

201 #Acroteria – #sculptures on the roofline, and 202 #Quadriga – a four-horse chariot. Temple of Jupiter Optimus Maximus, Rome https://t.co/h8eaJZSVED

203 #Peripteral – having a single row of pillars on all sides in the style of the temples of ancient Greece, and 204 #Pseudoperipteral – having fake pillars that don't hold up anything, carved as relief on walls that hold up things. https://t.co/xHAJBVns5C
