In Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome, the design of capitals followed the conventions. In Ancient Greece, the styles were divided into Doric, Ionic and Corinthian. The Doric style had a simple design, Ionic had volutes in the capital, and the Corinthian had Acanthus leaves. In Ancient Rome, the conventions were modified. The design of capitals became more sophisticated and detailed. Moving toward the Byzantine and Romanesque, the design of capitals strayed away from the conventions. The capitals did not follow the rules of the individual styles. The architecture styles progressively shift away from strict conventions.
