Hmm... If I read the plans correctly (those published by the official
instances, archeological or otherwise), the intercollumniation seems to be
equal everywhere in this temple. Now, it may be that Vitruvius was refering
to Roman temples? Although, of course, he based himself largely on Greek
examples. So, I am not sure, as far as Didyma is concerned. I shall have to
go there to do the measurements!!!
