Palmette and fluted ornamented capitals in Western Anatolia

Some architectural applications are also known in which no naming or grouping can be done other than the four main schemes such as Dor, Ion, Corinth and Composite used in the architecture. One of them is palmet capital and they are fixed. Different names have been used in publications for such titles. These; Reed leaf; Flute, Pergamon Type, Aeolic, lotus and akanthus, etc. And so on. These different nomenclatures show that you do not have a clear name. Initially, only the column headers were simply made as heads, but were later used in mixed form with other arrangements. In terms of ensuring the integrity of the column headings with other architectural elements, the same pattern is used in the headers, the antae or the plaster headings of this structure. Also the frieze of the structure is treated the same. This pattern then continued to be processed in various forms. The ends are depicted in the form of pointed leaves or tongue or groove. However, over time, this decoration has been changed. Because in ancient times architecture, Ion, Corinthian, Composite order was used. However, these schemes began to lose popularity. With the entry of artists into new quests, a complex order emerged with the use of different architectural elements or parts of these arrangements. Palmette and fluted ornamented capitals are also examples that were fashionable in the Roman Period. These topics are discussed in detail within the scope of the thesis.
