HYPAE'TRUM. A latticed window constructed over the grand entrance of a temple (Vitruv. iv. 6. 1.), as in the annexed example (Hypaetrum/1.1), which represents the door of the Pantheon at Rome. One of the Xanthian marbles in the British Museum affords an example of the same contrivance, which possesses the double advantage of giving grandeur without, and admitting air within.
