Porticus Argonautarum

C'est l'entrée arrière du Phantéon romain. Il reste plusieurs colonnes en mauvaises états. Des colonnes qui ont trois mille ans néanmoins.

Alte Architektur. Sehr viele Touristen

January 2023: This beautiful colonnaded building is located next to the Pantheon and encloses the western side of the Saepta. The open courtyard of the Saepta in front of the Porticus Argonautarum is used by artists and vendors to display their wares to people enjoying a stroll in the Campus Martius.

The Porticus Argonautarum has been constructed as a stoa in the Hellenic style. The walls and ceiling are decorated with frescoes depicting the adventures of the Argonauts. Friezes on the outer walls show the construction of the Argo and the gods and goddesses that appear in the adventure. Statues of the heroes are placed between the columns supporting the Portico.

Historical place!

Il portico degli Argonauti (in latino: Porticus Argonautarum) era un portico di Roma antica[1] facente parte del complesso dei Saepta Iulia, una vasta piazza cinta da un quadriportico ubicata nel Campo Marzio e utilizzata per le assemblee pubbliche e le votazioni (comitia).

Su historia ya ha sido contada y figura en Wikipedia, Básteme decir que es interesante como todo el Panteón de Roma y con gran valor histórico. Y valioso como todo lo relacionado con ese constructor -en sentido amplio- que fue el emperador Adriano. Recomiendo "Memorias de Adriano" de Marguerite Yourcenar.

From Wikipedia:

"The Porticus Argonautarum (portico of the Argonauts; Italian: Portico degli Argonauti) (also known as the Portico of Agrippa) was an ancient structure in Rome.

The building was located in the Saepta Julia, a large square in the Campus Martius used for public comitia (assemblies). The square, a large free space surrounded by porticoes, was finished by Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa, admiral and friend of emperor Augustus, in 27 BC. The portico of the Argonauts was added in 25 BC, to commemorate Agrippa's naval victories in 31 BC: it took its name from its decorations, which depicted the mythological expedition of Jason.

Studies of the Forma Urbis (an ancient detailed plan of Rome) have located the portico in what is now Via della Minerva, near the basilica of Santa Maria sopra Minerva.

A brickwork wall preserved along the eastern side of the Pantheon has been assigned to the Porticus Argonautarum."
