Week 2 Response

Capital designs became less precise and became more simple. The Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian capitals were all examples of how strict Ancient Greece was with their architectural rules. To continue, in Ancient Rome they built upon these rules and modified them to fit their own style. Compared to the antiquity period, Byzantines strayed away from these rules and had a simpler architectural style. Overall, the Romanesque capitals were less focused on details and focused more on being a bigger structure, while at the same time having some Greek influences. Through time the architectural styles deviate from strict convections.
