CORINTHIAN COLUMNS
Corinthian columns are the latest of the three Greek column styles and show the influence of Egyptian columns in their capitals, which are shaped like inverted bells. Capitals are also decorated with olive, laurel, or acanthus leaves. Corinthian columns rest on a base similar to that of the Ionic style. Corinthian also uses entasis to make the shafts look straight. The Corinthian capitals have flowers and leaves below a small scroll. The shaft is fluted and a base like the Ionian. Unlike the Doric and Ionian cornices, which are at a slant, the Corinthian roofs are flat. It was also the last of Greek columns, not arriving at full development until the middle of the 4th cent. B.C. The oldest known example is found in the temple of Apollo at Bassae.

COMPOSITE COLUMNS
The Composite order created by the Romans is a combination of the Ionic and Corinthian orders invented by the Greeks. It usually combines the Corinthian foliage. Although it wasnt named until the 16^th century, it is speculated that this decorative column has been around as early as the first century AD.
