    Both the Parthenon and the Maison Carrée stand on a podium, emphasizing their importance as temples. The Parthenon is a Doric temple made of marble, while the Maison Carrée is a Roman temple, constructed primarily of limestone and designed in the Corinthian style.

      The Maison Carrée is probably the most typical and best preserved Roman temple. It was built under Augustus (end of the 1st century BC) and was the "first of the youth", i.e. H. consecrated to the emperor's grandchildren. The temple exudes a fragile-looking charm that is based on the harmony of its proportions and on its location in the city, on a paved square in front of the contemporary building of the Carré d'Art, in which it is reflected.

        The Maison Carrée in Nîmes is one of the best preserved temples on the territory of the Roman Empire. It was built at the very beginning of the 1st century AD, possibly at the instigation of Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa (Wikipedia).
