SIMPLICITY GIVES YOUR DESIGN CENTER STAGE.
The distinguishing characteristic of the Tuscan Order is simplicity. Seldom fluted, the minimal mouldings and stylishly
clean lines provide a robust appearance. When used in true architectural proportions, the height of the column, including
cap and base, is seven diameters. Tuscan columns in antiquity are found on the Temple of Piety in Rome.

CLASSIC DESIGN REACHES NEW HEIGHTS.
The Roman Doric order 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 a 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 Roman Theater of Marcellus.
