The Alexandrian Corinthian Capital and its Role in the Evolution of the
Corinthian Order in Hellenistic, Roman, and Late Roman Architecture
discusses the evolution of the Corinthian capital in Antiquity and how
this centred around Alexandria rather than Mainland Greece. It tackles
the rise of the Corinthian capital in Classical Greece and its
adaptation on in Hellenistic Alexandria. It describes the different
designs of the Alexandrian capitals and later their adaptations
throughout the Hellenistic world, the Roman Empire, and the early
centuries of the Byzantine Empire and neighbouring countries. The book
also shows how the Hellenistic versions of the Alexandrian capitals
continued to be used in the Roman period both directly and indirectly.
