Cyclopedia of architecture, carpentry, and building : a general reference work . Ui 11 I I 11 IIIUDDDi ^ Fig. 56. Ionic Fluting.(Part plan and elevation.) 85 118 STUDY OF THE ORDERS moulding, a scotia with two fillets, and a large torus, the latter restingdirectly on the platform or steps around the temple, without theintervening square plinth (A, Fig, 57). The base which usually appears with this order is of the Atticvariety, circular in plan, and without a square plinth as in later Romanusage, with the exception of one type, that in the Temple of INIinervaPolias at Priene. In Fig. 57 are shown the most typical variations ofGreek Ionic column bases. That at A, taken from the Erechtheumat Athens, is generally termed the Attic base, from the fact that itwas most highly developed in Athens and the neighboring portions of lONIOQ0LVMN^ Fig. 57. Typical Greek Doric the state of Attica. This base is sometimes varied by making thelower torus very small in height, and flattening the scotia, as in PlateXLII; but it still retains the characteristics of the Attic base. Thebase at B, Fig. 57, is the only instance in Greek work where they haveemployed with this Order a plinth square in plan and rectangular inelevation. The example shown at C, Fig. 57, is taken from a columnat Samos, and is a somewhat unusual form. At Ephesus there is anexample of the use of the Ionic Order where the of the column isencircled by a dado carved with figures of considerable relief. Thebase shov/n at D is from the Temple of Apollo Epicurius at Phigalia. 86
