- Cover photo description:
- Corinthian order columns in ancient Corinth. The Corinthian order is the last developed of the three principal classical orders of ancient Greek and Roman architecture. The other two are the Doric order, followed by the Ionic order.The Corinthian order is named for the Greek city-state of Corinth, to which it was connected in the period. However, according to the architectural historian Vitruvius, the column was created by the sculptor Callimachus, probably an Athenian, who drew acanthus leaves growing around a votive basket. Its earliest use can be traced back to the Late Classical Period 430-323 BC. The earliest Corinthian capital was found in Bassae, dated at 427 BC
