Roman Ionic Columns
The intriguing design of the Ionic column makes it a popular choice. When you require a column with unique appeal, the Roman Ionic does not disappoint. The curling scrolls of the Ionic capital define the column itself, the spiral form seen as a symbol of ideal proportion. A proportionately slender shaft gives the column a sense of enhanced height, and 24 flutes add rich texture to the design. A molded base gives the column a strong foundation and a solid appearance.
The Ionic column is the second of the primary Greek orders. The Roman Ionic is an enhanced version of the Greek Ionic; the capital being refined and adorned with decorative details, the scrolls, or “volutes”, emphasizes and stylized and the crown detailed with egg and dart.
