Example Question #11 : Understanding Terminology That Describes Ancient Greek And Roman Architecture
A(n) ___________ is a circular opening at the top & center of a dome.
Possible Answers:
ambulatory
impluvium
apse
oculus
rose window
Correct answer:
oculus
Explanation:
This is the definition of an oculus, and can be found in the Pantheon and other Roman & Greek buildings.
The only other answer that is an open design is the rose window, but those are not found in the top of a dome.
The apse and ambulatory are specific areas in a basilica plan church, not a part of a dome.
The impluvium is an indented/sunken area in a structure to collect rain.
