porticus
suomi-englanti sanakirjaporticus englanniksi
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.
(quote-journal)|publisher=R. Clay and Sons|year=1980|page=110|passage=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.

Porticuses (porticūs: sing porticus) were lateral chambers.
(quote-book) Morris’s translation refers to “three porches” and he omits ‘built on the outside’ (Morris 1967: 124). Since ModE ''porch'' indicates a covered approach to the entrance of a building, and since porticuses were usually only accessible from inside the church, this translation is misleading.

(quote-book)|year=1872|pages=4, 6, and 675|passage=It lay between the Circus Flaminius and the theatre of Marcellus, occupying the same site as the porticus which was built by Q. Caecilius Metellus, after his triumph over Macedonia, in (smallcaps) 146 No. 5, and enclosing, as the porticus of Metellus had done, the two temples of Jupiter Stator and of Juno. (..) He built a magnificent house on the Palatine, which, according to Cicero (''de Off''. i. 39), contributed to his election to the consulship, and he also erected a beautiful porticus, which is spoken of below. (..) The porticus erected by Cn. Octavius was called ''(w)'', and must be carefully distinguished from the ''(w)'', built by Augustus in the name of his sister. (..) In the Notitia we have mention of a ''Minucia Vetus et Frumentaria'', whence it is doubtful whether two different porticus or only one is intended.
(quote-journal).(nb...)|volume=XXXV|location=London|publisher=(...) The Office of the Archaeological Institute|Royal Archaeological Institute,(nb...)|year=1878|page=398|passage=Mr. Codd agrees that this Roman porticus must have been an arcade, with the columns of which we have the bases attached to the square piers; this was a usual Roman construction, and the two bases at an angle (one of them partly inserted in the other) would belong to this plan, the wide distance apart of the bases also confirms the idea that they stood against arches.
(quote-book)|year=1886|pages=105, 112, and 114|passage=At the eastern end of the porticus is a square room of 14 feet, brick flues, painted stucco. (..) Standing in the western porticus, and looking eastward, you have the river before you (within the distance of 180 yards), which, after winding below a rocky bank to the left and passing by the front of the villa, turns suddenly to the east, close under a hanging wood, on the steep side of the hill before mentioned. (..) The entrance of this villa seems to have been on the east front, into a narrow porticus, or rather crypto-porticus, about fifty-four feet in length and eight wide, with painted walls and a tesselated pavement; (..)
(quote-book)|year=1888|pages=80–81 and 178|passage=This the Trajan's Forum|Forum of Trajan was a large square with porticuses on three sides, and the Basilica, called Ulpia, from Trajan’s family name, on the N. side. (..) Colonnades.—It is scarcely possible to image anything so perfectly adapted to the front of the basilica, or so well contrived to conceal the buildings on each side of the piazza, as these noble porticuses.
(quote-journal) The portion of this wall, however, at the eastern end of the porticus on the north and below the ramp leading from the Nova Via to the Palatine, seems, in all probability, to belong in part to this period. (..) The distance of the arcade, or porticus, from the water-basin, which, in its present form, differs somewhat from it in orientation ((smallcaps) X), was from 3 to 4 meters.

(quote-book) Although each half of the porticus has unusual proportions for what is likely to have been more of a room than a corridor, when compared to the elongated rooms found at Hohenfels, Sontheim a.d. Brenz and Wahlen it is within the normal provincial-Roman range. (..) The plain piece of pavement between the mosaics is, in effect, like the internal porch found in some porticuses, of which Romegoux is an example (Fig. 13); a porch of that kind would be pointless unless the porticus were enclosed.
(quote-book)|year=2009|page=375|isbn=9780953784523|passage=(..) the building was extended north and south and given a fronting porticus on the east side as well as a rear porticus, although Detsicas (1983, 132) believes that these represent a single building phase rather than two. Later in the second century a cellar was constructed at the southern end of the rear porticus and a bow-fronted wing (similar to the earlier building at Folkestone), extending eastwards, was added to the south of the building, and probably a symmetrical one on the unexcavated north. The bipartite room of this wing had a channelled hypocaust, in the fill of which were fragments of Mosaic 356.
(quote-book) In 29 (smallcaps) Marcius Philippus restored the Temple of Hercules and the Muses in the Circus Flaminius and built a porticus around it (Tacitus, ''Ann.'' 3.72).
