A capital of the composite order
The composite order is a mixed order, combining the volutes of the Ionic order with the leaves of the Corinthian order. The composite volutes are larger, however, and the composite order also has echinus with egg-and-dart ornamentation between the volutes. The column of the composite order is ten diameters high.

The Roman Ionic Order
The Romans later adapted this style of column, and added their own details to them. The Roman Doric order is known for having a base and the flutes being altered or even omitted. Like the Greek Doric order, the height is based on the diameter. It stands eight times its diameter. These columns can be found on the beautiful Theater of Marcellus. |
