Beneath the Pendentive Bay - N - (-------------------------------------------------) - <---(M)---> E - S - The rich detail in the moldings of the pendentive bay is enhanced by the contrast of colored stone, which gives a peculiar crisp and vivid sparkle to the interior. An incredibly significant statue of the tetrarch Caracalla stands against the west wall. Other elements you notice as you slowly proceed are the four large buttresses to your north, supporting the impressive central dome that rests above them. You are motivated to continue north, to the tetrarch chamber.
