DORIC ORDER• Pronounced features of both Greek and Roman versions of the Doric order are the alternating
trabeated) construction. They also served to "organize" rainwater runoff from above.
• A triglyph is centered above every column, with another (or sometimes two) between columns, though the Greeks felt that the corner triglyph should form the corner of the entablature, creating an inharmonious mismatch with the supporting column. The spaces between the triglyphs are the "metopes". They may be left plain, or they may be carved in low relief.
• In the Roman Doric version, the height of the entablature has been reduced. The endmost triglyph is centered over the column rather than occupying the corner of the architrave. The columns are slightly less robust in their proportions. Below their caps, an astragal molding encircles the column like a ring. plinths.
• In the Roman Doric mode, columns are not invariably fluted. Since the Romans dropped the request of the triglyph covered corner, now both columns and triglyphs could be arranged in equidistant order again and well centered together. The architrave corner needed to be left “blank”

CORINTHIAN ORDER• The Corinthian order is named for the Greek city-state of Corinth, to which it was
connected in the period. Its earliest use can be traced back to the Late Classical Period (430-323 BC).
• The earlist Corinthian capital was found in Bassae, dated at 427 BC. It is sometimes called the feminine order because it is on the top level of the Colosseum and holding up the least weight, and also has the slenderest ratio of thickness to height. Height to width ratio is about 10:1.
• In roman order Proportion is a defining characteristic of the Corinthian order: the "coherent integration of dimensions and ratios in accordance with the principles of abacus upon the capital has concave sides to conform to the out scrolling corners of the capital, and it may have a rosette at the center of each side.
IONIC ORDER• Ionic columns are most often fluted. After a little early experimentation, the number
of hollow flutes in the shaft settled at 24.
• This standardization kept the fluting in a familiar proportion to the diameter of the column at any scale, even when the height of the column was exaggerated. Roman fluting leaves a little of the column surface between each hollow; Greek fluting runs out to a knife edge that was easily scarred.
• Roman and Renaissance practice condensed the height of the entablature by reducing the proportions of the architrave, which made the frieze more prominen
