a Volute
Doric, ionic, and corinthian
Doric, Ionian, and Corinthian are the names of the three styles of the capitals on Greek columns. The capital could be loosely called the "tops" of the columns. The Doric style is more or less plain, with just a band running around it. The Ionic style has a wide band that curls under. The Corinthian style is the most elaborate with carved foliage in usually three tiers.

Columns supported roofs. There were several decorative styles of column - Doric, Corinthian and Ionic. The people of Corinth liked a style which had acanthus leaves on the top, and this is what we call the Corinthian column.

The arch of Titus was the first example of a construction in the Composite order which combined both the Corinthian and the Ionic orders. The capitals are Corinthian, but with prominent Ionic volutes which projected laterally from the Corinthian acanthus foliage. The volute is a spiral scroll-like ornament that forms the basis of the Ionic order, found in the capital of the Ionic column which was later incorporated into the Corinthian order to form the Composite column capitals. The acanthus is one of the most common plant forms used to make foliage ornament and decoration which was often used in the Corinthian order. The corners are articulated with a huge order of engaged columns which stand on a high basement. An engaged column is a column embedded in a wall and partly projecting from the surface of the wall. It was rare in classical Greek architecture, but it was favoured in Roman architecture and was commonly embedded in the cella walls of pseudoperipteral buildings. A pseudoperipteral building has free standing columns in the front (colonnaded portico), but the columns along the sides are engaged in the peripheral walls of the cella.

Ionic columns were used in classical Greek architecture to support entablatures and roofs in temples and public buildings. They are characterized by their scroll-shaped capital, known as a volute.
