Inscription

Was the Roman dedicatory inscription of bronze then? Wetman 11:27, 23 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Yes it was, the letters being affixed to the facade with pegs or rivets or something like that. I think the Pantheon in Rome has the same setup. -- ChrisO 12:01, 23 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Maison Quarrée

Reading the Letters of Thomas Jefferson, he frequently refers to this building by the name Maison Quarrée as "the most perfect surviving Roman building" and the like, therefore I'm adding this alternative spelling of the name to assist searches. -- Writtenonsand 16:40, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

New additions

Recent additions to the article are either unreferenced or inadequately referenced, and in places, especially the "Influence" section, read like a personal reflection rather than an encyclopedic article. An editor's own value judgements are unacceptable, they need to be supported by a reliable source. Awien (talk) 13:16, 22 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The Maison carrée (French for 'square house') is an ancient Roman temple in Nîmes, southern France. It is a mid-sized Augustan provincial temple of the imperial cult, and one of the best-preserved Roman temples to survive in the territory of the former Roman Empire. Built in the early 1st century AD, it was dedicated or rededicated to Gaius and Lucius Caesar, grandsons and adopted heirs of Augustus, who both died young. The Maison carrée is similar to a Tuscan-style Roman temple as described in the writings of Vitruvius, a contemporary Roman writer on architecture. It has undergone several restorations over the centuries and was inscribed on the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites in 2023. This photograph of the Maison carrée at evening was taken in 2019.
