Order
Doric, Ionic and Corinthian
The Romans did not use three building styles more often. They adopted the three Greek orders (styles) for building columns: Dorian, Ionian and Corinthian. They also adopted the Tuscan (Etruscan) order, but only for fortifications and warehouses. They introduced the composite order, which was a mixture of two orders, usually the Ionic and Corinthian. For the rest, Roman architecture was very different from Greek architecture.
The three orders of Greek architecture are Doric, Ionic and Corinthian.
Doric, Ionic and Corinthian
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. The Ionic order is one of the three classical orders of ancient Greek architecture, along with Doric and Corinthian.
