Studien, pp. 320-327; MAU, Pomp. Beitraege, pp. 200-209; WEICHARDT, Pompeji vor der Zerstoerung (Leipzig, 1897), pp. 61-78.

_Variation of the plan from the Etruscan, union of Greek and Etruscan elements_ [p. 63]: cf. Vitr. IV. VII. 1, VIII. 5.

_Relief in the house of Caecilius Jucundus_ [p. 64]: MAU, Roem. Mitth., vol. 15 (1900), pp. 115-116.

_Decoration of the cella_ [p. 65]: MAU, Geschichte der decorativen Wandmalerei in Pompeji (Berlin, 1882), pp. 61-62, 248.

_Inscriptions found in the cella_ [p. 66]: C. I. L. X. 796-797.

_Capitals of the Ionic columns of the cella, and of the Corinthian columns of the portico_ [pp. 63-67]: MAZOIS, Les ruines de Pompei, vol. 3, pl. 35. The shape of the acanthus leaves is not that characteristic of the pre-Roman period. It is therefore most probable that the temple was built, or at any rate was completed, in the early years of the colony.
