The doric columns in Greek architecture are typically baseless, fluted, and with a smooth transition to the abacus (wider, square supporting structure above the column). Roman doric columns included a wider base and often beveled top moldings.

You could be thinking of two types of column. The Doric column has no decoration at all on the top, but the Ionic column has a simple curl on each side. To be certain, look at the base of the column in question. If your column is flat on the ground with no decoration at the top, it is Doric. If it's base is raised, and had a curled capital, it is Ionic.
