Paper 1
Revise: RomeAlong the cella walls are semi-engaged columns: columns partly embedded in the walls. These differ from the free-standing columns of the porch, around which there is open space.
For Portunus, identify free-standing columns in the porch and semi-engaged columns attached to the cella walls. ‘Columns’ alone is too vague; ‘semi-engaged colonnade’ is not accepted in the June 2025 OCR mark scheme.
