An Antae Temple, also a Distyle in antis Temple, is a special name given to a type of ancient Greek or Roman temple that has side walls that extend to form a porch at the front or rear (or both) and terminated in structural pillars that were called the antae. If columns were placed in advance of the walls or antae, the temple was termed prostyle and if columns surrounded the temple it was termed peripteral.

The Temple of Antiquity (Latin templum in antis) is one of the oldest and simplest forms of the Greek temple. It consists of a rectangular room (Cella) with porch (Pronaos). The vestibule is formed by the antenna and two pillars arranged in between. The Antentempel has a front and long sides encircling beams, the architrave was often replaced by another layer of stone. This distinguishes him from the Naos of a Ringhallentempels (Peripteros), in which the entablature of the pronaos usually ends at the antennae. The antic temples are the treasury of the Athenians in Delphi or the Dionysus temple in Milet. The Romans took over the building type, which was therefore widespread throughout the Mediterranean at least until the 3rd century.

A temple, on the back of which there are also antenes forming an opisthodom there, is called a double-edged temple. If the column positions are missing between the anten, one speaks of an astylos.
