Aeolic order
The Aeolic 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.
