Corinthian order (English)
Most elaborate of the Greek architectural styles and least used by the Greeks. Resembles Ionic in most aspects except for the column capital Corinthian columns have tall capitals shaped like upside-down bells and are covered with rows of acanthus leaves and small vine like spirals called helixes. The Corinthian order was originally used for columns inside buildings and did not appear externally until the 4th century BC use in exterior temple colonnades did not become widespread until Roman times.""
