Doric Columns
In ancient Greece, Doric columns were stouter than those of the Ionic or Corinthian orders. Their smooth, round capitals are simple and plain compared to the other two Greek orders. In Greece Doric columns rested directly on the floor without the benefit of a pedestal or base moulding. Doric columns were also sectioned, non-continuous frieze with alternating arangements of scored triglyphs d sculptured metopes. The roof of the olum is lso flt.
Ionic Colums
Unlike Doric columns, Ionic columns always have bases. The columns re always separated by a flat band or fillet and were angled out on the corners forming spirals. The Ionic column is always more slender, highly decorative, d taller than the Doric columns. Just like the Doric columns, Ionic roofs re flt.
Corinthian Columns
The Corinthian columns had more decorative capitols d was taller than both the Doric and Ionic columns. The Corinthian capitals have flowers and leaves below a small scroll. The Corinthian roofs are flat unlike the Doric and Ionic roofs which are slanted.
