Piece of corona of cornice, from the north portico of the Erechtheion (H on plan). Although not derived from the same part of the temple, this fragment has been placed in connection with the slabs of the architrave, Nos. 413, 414, in order to show the original effect. The space of two feet between the corona and the architrave was occupied by the sculptured frieze. This consisted of marble figures in relief attached by metal clamps on a ground of black Eleusinian marble. A few fragments are extant at Athens. Length, 4 feet 7 inches; height, 10-1/2 inches; breadth, 1 foot 1-1/2 inches. _Synopsis_, No. 289 (165). Stuart, II., ch. II., pls. 4, 5.

TEMPLE OF NIKÈ APTEROS. The temple of Nikè Apteros (Victory without wings), or more correctly of Athenè Nikè, stood on the projecting eminence to the south of the approach to the Propylaea at Athens (Paus., i. 22, 4). The building had remained uninjured till the close of the seventeenth century, and was seen in 1676 by the travellers Spon and Wheler. But not long after, probably about the year 1685, the temple was demolished by the Turks, and the materials were used to build a bastion on the spot where the temple had stood. In 1835 Ludwig Ross, and the architects Schaubert and Hansen took down the bastion and reconstructed the temple as it now stands. A sufficient amount of the lower part had remained undisturbed to enable them to proceed with certainty.
