Classical aedicula shrine from Lilybaeum, with sign of Baal Hammon, signs of Tanit and caduceus
In ancient Roman religion, an aedicula (pl.: aediculae)[a] is a small shrine, and in classical architecture refers to a niche covered by a pediment or entablature supported by a pair of columns and typically framing a statue,[1][2] the early Christian ones sometimes contained funeral urns.[3]Aediculae are also represented in art as a form of ornamentation.
The word aedicula is the diminutive of the Latin aedes, a temple building or dwelling place.[1] The Latin word has been anglicised as "aedicule" and as "edicule".[1][2] Describing post-antique architecture, especially Renaissance architecture, aedicular forms may be described using the word tabernacle, as in tabernacle window.
