What was the size of the outer columns on the Parthenon?

What types of columns were used to build the Parthenon?

Currently doing Classical Civilisation GCSE, not only did they have Doric style columns (characterised by their rather plain capital (that little ring thing at the top of the column) and lack of entasis/base) but they also housed Double Doric columns in the naos with it's cult statue. I don't why but I find that so cute, they're like mini-versions of the regular Doric Columns. You should check out the Assasin's creed Parthenon and look at their columns, or some artist reconstructions as I can't really put these into words that well. Plus, I'm only at GCSE, this might not be the most informed explanation of their columns. Feel free to correct me if need be

The Parthenon has an 8 x 17 colonnade of columns around the periphery. What is the total number of columns around the outer perimeter?

The Parthenon features a colonnade with 8 columns on each of the shorter sides and 17 columns on each of the longer sides. To find the total number of columns around the outer perimeter, you can calculate it as follows: (2 x 8) + (2 x 17) = 16 + 34 = 50. Therefore, the total number of columns around the outer perimeter of the Parthenon is 50.
