Narrative: Under the direction of Prof. d'Espouy, the graduates of the famous Paris school of art, the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, measured, rendered and shaded the views of the famous monuments of ancient Greece and Rome. These drawing were then reproduced by a 19th C. process called heliography. Sanctuary and the Temple of Asklepios at Epidauros: The Temple: An outline of the existing rectangular foundations at the present site marks the site of the Doric temple with a raised peristyle which was designed by the architect Theodotos in 4 C BC, who also assisted in the construction of the Mausoleum of Halikarnassos. The temple contained a statue in gold and ivory of Asklepios seated on a throne, a baton in his right hand and his left hand resting on the head of a serpent. The Rotunda (Thólos): The famous rotunda was built in the 4C BC by the architect of the theater, Polykleitos the Younger, as a mausoleum for the hero Asklepios. The building consisted of concentric circles of colonnades - the outer one of tufa in the Doric order and the inner of marble in the Corinthian order. At the center was a maze; its purpose was subject of many hypotheses. The rotunda was decorated in different color marbles, paintings of Love and Inebrity and finely sculpted motifs.
