The Corinthian order is the latest and most elaborate of the three principal classical orders of ancient Greek and Roman architecture, following the Doric and Ionic orders. It is distinguished by its slender, fluted columns and highly decorative capitals adorned with acanthus leaves and intricate scrollwork. The earliest known example of a Corinthian column can be found in the Temple of Apollo Epicurius at Bassae in Arcadia, dating to approximately 450 to 420 BCE.
