Corinthian Capitals. End of the 1st Century BC.
Part of the first level of the stage, they have similar features in the double crown eight Acanthus leaves, each of which covers lower half of the capital. Between the leaves of the second crown sprout curved tendrils which coil and twist at the ends.
The abacus is divided into the ovolo and the cavete and the first displays a kyma of eggs separated by spear tips, while on the smooth cavete is the flower of an Araceae. Carved out of marble from Luni (Carrara), they are a replica of styles found in the Augustine Forum in Rome.
