hall of the See also:Acropolis at See also:Athens, which was begun in 437 B.C. by See also:Pericles, to take the See also:place of an earlier gateway. Owing probably to See also:political difficulties and to the outbreak of the Peloponnesian See also:War, the See also:building was never completed according to the See also:original plans; but the portion that was built was among the See also:chief glories of Athens, and afforded a See also:model to many subsequent imitators. The architect was See also:Mnesicles; the material Pentelic See also:marble, with Eleusinian See also:blackstone for dados and other details. The See also:plan of the Propylaea consists of a large square hall, from which five steps See also:lead up to a See also:wall pierced by five gateways of graduated sizes, the central one giving passage to a road suitable for beasts or possibly for vehicles. 'On the inner See also:side towards the Acropolis, this wall is faced with a See also:portico of six Doric columns. At the other end of the great hall is a similar portico facing outwards; and between this and the doors the hall is divided into three aisles by rows of Ionic columns. The western or See also:outer front is flanked on each side by a projecting wing, with a See also:row of three smaller Doric columns between See also:Antae at right angles to the See also:main portico. The See also:north wing is completed by a square chamber which served as a picture See also:gallery; but the See also:south wing contains no corresponding chamber, and its plan has evidently been curtailed; its front projected beyond its covered See also:area, and it is finished in what was evidently a provisional way on the side of the See also:bastion before the little See also:temple of Victory (NLe ). From this and other indications See also:Professor Dorpfeld has inferred that the original plan of Mnesicles was to See also:complete the south wing on a plan symmetrical with that of the north wing, but opening by a portico on to the bastion to the See also:west; and to add on the inner side of the Propylaea two great halls, faced by porticoes almost in a See also:line with the main portico, but with smaller columns. It is probable that this larger plan had to be given up, because it would have interfered with sacred See also:objects such as the See also:precinct of See also:Artemis Brauronia and the See also:altar of See also:Nike, and religious conservatism prevailed over the waning See also:influence of Pericles. In addition to this, the unfinished See also:surface of the walls and the rough bosses See also:left on many

as the See also:palace of the See also:dukes of Athens; they were much damaged by the See also:explosion of a See also:powder See also:magazine in 1656. The See also:tower, of Frankish or See also:Turkish date, that stood on the south wing, was pulled down in 1874.

A See also:prorogation of See also:parliament affects both houses, and thus differs from an " See also:adjournment," which does not terminate the session and is effected by each house separately by See also:resolution. Further, at a prorogation, a See also:bill which has not passed all of its stages must begin again ab initio in the next session, and all proceedings, except impeachments and appeals before the House of Lords, are quashed. A prorogation is effected by the See also:sovereign in See also:person, or by See also:commission.
