The three types of pillars used by the ancient Greeks in their temple architecture are the Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian orders. The Doric order is the simplest, characterized by sturdy, fluted columns with a plain capital. The Ionic order features more slender, fluted columns with scroll-like volutes on the capital, while the Corinthian order is the most ornate, distinguished by elaborate acanthus leaf decorations on its capital. Each style reflects different aesthetic values and functions in Greek architecture.

What did the Romans borrow from the greeks to build to colossium?
The construction of the Colosseum in just eight years was made possible by the use of the three key elements of what had been called the Roman architectural revolution which enabled the Romans to go beyond the Greek post-and-lintel system of constructing buildings: concrete, the arch and the vault. The core of the structure was made with Roman concrete (which was different than modern concrete), which was covered with stone and stucco (a type of plaster) because concrete was unsightly. Local tuff stone and travertine stone, which was brought from 20 miles from Rome, were used. The outer facade was covered with travertine stones which were braced by 300 bronze clamps. Before building the Colosseum an artificial lake which had been created by the emperor Nero had to be drained and filled. Local water streams were canalised. Its foundations, also made in concrete to provide a very solid base, are 12-13m (39-42 ft.) deep and were designed in strips beneath concentric walls. Its tiers are supported by vaults. Three of its four tiers have 80 arches. The arches provided 80 entrances; 79 were for the general public and the rest were special entrances. The actual arena was 86x54 metres (282x177 feet) and was separated from the seating by a 4 metre high platform. Underneath the partly brick and partly wooden floor of the arena where the gladiatorial fights and the animal hunts were performed there was a hypogeum (which means underground). This was a complex underground structure with 12 curved tunnels on the sides of a central passageway. The gladiators and caged animals were housed there prior to the show. It also stored machinery and props for sceneries. There were pulleys to hoist the caged animals.
