articulation of exterior walls

Responded to no internal logic. For example, the facade of the Great Tomb at Levkadia (c. 3 00 B.C.) is decorated with an engaged Doric order surmounted by a continuous frieze of stucco reliefs, surmounted in turn by a small Ionic order carrying a pediment; but behind this pseudo-structural screen is a plain vaulted antechamber rising to full height: apart from the spring of the vault there are no internal caesuras to justify the external show. (Boardman, 1986)
