Everything about The Aeolic Order totally explained
The
Aeolic order or
Aeolian order was an early
order of
Classical architecture.
The form developed in northwestern
Asia Minor, but is also seen in some
temples in
Sicily, and is named for the
Aeolian Islands. It has a strong similarity to the better known
Ionic order, but differs in the
capital, where a
palmette is placed between the two
volutes. Many examples also show simplified details compared to the Ionic.
The earliest surviving examples of the Aeolic order are contemporary with the emergence of the Ionic and
Doric orders in the
6th century BC, but some authorities have suggested that the Ionic style represents a development of the Aeolic.
The Aeolic order fell out of use at the end of the
Archaic Period.
