How cool is that? I've only ever seen the big 3 in capital styles, Doric, Ionic and Corinthian. Now we have the Phoenician?
Can't wait to read more on this discovery..and the new one in Egypt as well!
The Romans also had a couple of capitals, the Tuscan, simpler than any of the Greeks and the Composite , which was sort of a convoluted Corinthian.
The Egyptians had a capital on top of their columns which may have been called Papyrus.
