Pseudoperipteral
In architecture, a pseudoperipteral temple is one with free standing columns in the front (colonnaded portico) whereas the columns along the sides are engaged in the peripheral walls of the naos or cella. The ancient Romans favoured pseudoperipteral temples, typically with a portico in front and engaged columns along the other three sides of the cella.
