HEMICYCLE (Gr. iift-, half, and avahos, circle)

This article appears in Volume V13, Page 258 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: HEG-HIG
HEMICYCLE (Gr. iift-, half, and avahos, circle) , a semi-circular
recess
  of considerable
size
  which formed one of the most conspicuous features in the
Roman
  Thermae, where it was always covered with a hemispherical vault. A small example exists in Pompeii, in the
street
  of tombs, with a seat
round
  inside, where those who came to pay their respects to the departed could rest. An immense hemicycle was designed by
Bramante
  for the Vatican, where it constitutes a fine architectural effect at the end of the
great
 
court
 .
