Vitruvius and issues of architectural design of the Pola Forum

The architectural design of the Roman Forum of Pola is largely unknown. Based on the Vitruvian rules, some of these problems and the possible placement of certain elements of architectural decoration are considered: function of relief bases with Jupiter Ammon and Medusa and panels with Triton and the pairs of eagles and Erotes carrying festoons, possible appearance of the forum portico or basilica gallery according to the archaeological finds and preserved architectural decoration elements, access to the twin temples podium and chronological issues of the Forum reconstruction.

Na temelju Vitruvijevih pravila, razmatraju se neki od tih problema i mogući smještaj elemenata arhitektonske dekoracije: uloga reljefnih baza s Jupiterom Amonom i Meduzom i panela s Tritonom i parovima orlova i Erota koji nose festone, mogući izgled forumskog trijema ili galerije bazilike prema arheološkim nalazima i sačuvanim elementima arhitektonske dekoracije, pristup podiju dva hrama blizanca i kronološki problemi rekonstrukcije foruma.
