Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: TAV-THE
THESAURUS (Gr. B17o-avp6s) , the
term
  in architecture given to the Greek treasure
house
 , and at one time applied to the beehive tombs of Mycenae and other parts of
Greece
 , now recognized as tombs; the subterranean chambers under some of the Greek temples were probably used as treasure rooms. Sometimes in the rear of the cella of a Greek temple there was a chamber, known as the opisthodomus, in which the treasures were kept; and, failing this provision, the
epinaos
  or rear portico of the temple was enclosed with large railings and utilized for the same purpose; in this case the
term
  opisthodomus was applied to it. "

house
  " or
