Roman Doric is an architectural style originating from ancient Rome and Greece. It is characterized by its simple and classic style of columns, which are often fluted and have a base, a shaft, and a capital. The diameter of the shaft is larger than the columns of the Ionic style and the height is shorter than that of the Corinthian style. Roman Doric is also identifiable by its decorative moldings, typically featuring triglyphs and guttae. This style of architecture is often seen in public and government buildings as well as in religious temples and monuments.
