The essential feature is an enclosed chamber, commonly called by the Latin name cella, in which stood, as a rule, the image of the god or goddess to whom the temple was dedicated. Between the antae are two columns. This type of temple is called a templum in antis. Did a vestibule exist at the front only, the temple would be called prostyle; as it is, it is amphiprostyle.
An example of this is the temple of Jove and Faunus in the Island of the Tiber. The amphiprostyle is in all other respects like the prostyle, but has besides, in the rear, the same arrangement of columns and pediment. A temple will be peripteral that has six columns in front and six in the rear, with eleven on each side including the corner columns.
