porticus

Tanımlar (İngilizce)

1. isim A small room in a church, commonly forming extensions to the north and south sides of it, giving the building a cruciform plan, which may function as a chapel, rudimentary transept or burial place.

   “It remains therefore to speculate on the form of the church: whether we located north and south aisles beyond the nave or whether these are porticuses is not clear. The church could have been fully aisled, or it might have had shorter aisles extending to the east end, or just flanking porticuses.”

2. isim An ancient Roman colonnade, arcade, or portico.

   “Ramage, op. cit., refers to there being a requirement in Rome that porticuses (colonnades) were to be built in front of buildings, as a measure either to help fire-fighting or to prevent people being injured by falling debris.”
