\"Quadriporticus<\/a>
Quadriporticus (also called the Piazzale delle Corporazioni) beyond the scenae of the theater at Ostia.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A quadriporticus<\/em> (plural: quadriporticus<\/em>) was a square\/rectangular courtyard area surrounded on four sides by porticoes. The name is derived from the Latin four, quattor<\/em>, and porticus<\/em>, a colonnaded and covered walkway. The shape and layout is reminiscent of the Greek and Roman palaestrae<\/em>. While palaestrae<\/em> have links to exercise and bathing, a quadriporticus<\/em> typically refers to this type of monumental structure used outside of a bathing complex in the Roman world, though it may still have links to athletic endeavors. Quadriporticus<\/em> often seem to be built in conjunction with a theater, with several of the buildings being found constructed to the rear of a theater. The quadriporticus<\/em> differs from a peristyle in that while they may both incorporate a four sided portico, the peristyle is specifically an interior courtyard in a larger building, while the quadriporticus<\/em> is the building itself (though it may be part of a larger building complex).<\/p>\n
