Roman Doric-800

Roman Doric features an increase of decorative moulding over the Tuscan Order. Vignola's Denticulated Doric cap has a stepped, three-fillet support of the echinus instead of the single-fillet support of the Tuscan Order. The Doric base is similar to the Tuscan, but the addition of bead above the Torus moulding is an elegant embellishment. According to Vignola, the height of the Doric Column including cap and base should be eight diameters. Vignola Denticulated Doric is imitated closely from the Theater of Marcellus.

Tuscan Columns are available in fluted or unfluted versions. They may be ordered in Vignola's architectural proportions as described above or in custom combinations of column lengths and widths as well as in non-tapered cylinders. Square Architectural Columns and Pilasters to match detail of Round Tapered Columns are available.
