Composite Order. Grandest of the Roman
Orders, essentially an ornate version of the eight-voluted
Ionic capital known as the
angular capital or
Scamozzi Order under which are added two tiers of
acanthus-leaves. Its
entablature is also very ornate. It bears a resemblance to the
Corinthian Order and is also called the
Compound Order.
