The term Corinthian refers to the last one of the three classical orders of ancient Greek and Roman Architecture. Corinthian is the most elaborate of the three orders and was developed by the Greeks by 400 BC. The Corinthian columns are heavier and fancier than Ionic style. The columns are slender and fluted and have a bell-shaped capital with stone carved acanthus leaves and scrolls. The column is named ‘Corinthian,’ after the ancient city of Greece, ‘Corinth’.
