Pilasters 121 A.D. and 202 A.D. Rome The two-sided square end capital shows even more delicate acanthus details. We see what the Ancients saw on all Corinthians. Nevertheless, when it is examined closely, there are a lot of bits and pieces missing. But, under the lintels, sheltered from falling objects and acid rain, there is little of the damage of the centuries.
