This map illustrates the five classical orders of architecture—Doric, Ionic, Corinthian, Tuscan, and Composite—as developed in ancient Greece and Rome.

Ancient Architectural Capitals

This image presents a variety of ancient architectural capitals, highlighting different styles and regions from ancient civilizations.

Capitals are the uppermost parts of columns, providing both decorative and functional elements in classical architecture.

The following styles are illustrated:

Egyptian Papyrus Capital

– A design inspired by the papyrus plant, common in ancient Egyptian architecture, symbolizing the Nile's vegetation.

Egyptian Date-Palm Capital

– This capital features palm leaves, a motif representing fertility and abundance in ancient Egypt.

Persian Animal Capital

– Notable for its intricate carvings of animals, this style reflects the opulence and symbolic artistry of ancient Persia.

Greek Doric Capital

– A simple, sturdy design characterized by its plain, rounded shape, representing the earliest and most austere form of Greek architecture.

Greek Ionic Capital

– Famous for its scroll-like volutes, this elegant style is more ornate than Doric, used in many temples and buildings in ancient Greece.

Greek Corinthian Capital

– Highly decorative, featuring acanthus leaves, this capital became prominent in later Greek and Roman architecture for its intricate beauty.

Roman Corinthian Capital

– Derived from the Greek Corinthian style, the Roman version is more detailed and elaborate, reflecting the grandeur of the Roman Empire.

Indian Foliage Capital (150 B.C.)

– Marked by lush, detailed carvings of plant forms, this style illustrates the naturalistic artistry prominent in ancient Indian architecture.

Indian Plain Capital (400 A.D.)

– A more restrained, straightforward design, this capital highlights the evolution of Indian architecture towards simplicity during later periods.

These capitals showcase the diversity and evolution of ancient architecture across cultures, blending aesthetics with symbolism and structural support.

Huh. Dear Numenoreans who built Tinnudir Keep: Why do you put the ionic capitals on the edges of the stairs and not on the columns?

Nope, gotta go with Palace at Knossos Minoan pillars. Tapered at the base, painted bright red, holding up a labyrinthine palace. Imagine dancing around these babies. The *weight*, the *grandeur*.
