Figure 10. - The temple of Zeus in Aizanoi 
The Hellenistic temple of Asia Minor has a pseudo-dipteral 
Ionic plan, with eight columns on the front side and 15 on the 
long side. Under the podium there is a large vaulted hall, which 
has been interpreted as an architectural representation of the 
cave where Jupiter was bom. A pediment on the ground brings a 
sculpture of a woman (Figure 10). 
Figure 11 - One of the pictures used for the evaluation 
For the photogrammetric survey we used a pre-calibrated 35 mm 
camera, equipped with a 20 mm lens. Following the 3x3 rules, 
we formed the so-called photographic ring, composed by 16 
images taken all around the temple. Figure 10 and 11 are two 
examples of these images. The time spent in the survey was 
really very short. We took a distance in the basement with a tape 
for dimensioning. The evaluation was performed by 
Photomodeler. Obviously the expected accuracy cannot be very 
high, but we could get some results, almost free. Figure 12 
shows the 3d wire frame model of the whole temple. The 
underground hall is visible, with the six windows for lighting, 
and the stairs connecting lower and upper ground.

In Figures from 14 to 17 the lateral and frontal views of the 
temple. The temple is built on a podium whose original 
dimensions were originally 53 meters by 35 meters while now 
they are 43 by 25m. The average distance from two adjacent 
columns is 2.9 m in the lateral side, while it is 3.25 in the front 
side. The high above the podium is 12.70, while the podium 
stands above the ground elevation 1.50 m.
