		Its massive shaft, generally treated with 20 flutes, terminates in a simple capital composed of a group of annulets, a projecting curved molding called the echinus, and a square slab or abacus at the top.
		The proportions, heavy in the earliest Doric columns, became more slender in the perfected type, the entasis became less sharp, and the echinus projection was diminished.
		The Roman Doric, while derived from the Greek, was probably also influenced by a simple and slender column developed by the Etruscans.

	Doric
		The Doric Order which is the oldest, plainest and most sturdy of the three Greek Orders, reflects the culture of its inventors: they are known to have been militant, disciplined people with a strong sense of tribal order.
		The proportions of the Doric column were fixed by the relation of diameter to height.
		Interestingly, Doric steps were proportioned to the temple, not to the visitor: their steepness often made it difficult to climb (necessitating the insertion of smaller steps on the front).

		In addition, the fluting of the Doric column is reminiscent of the grooves that the long strokes of the adze would make as the woodworker cut away the bark of a tree trunk before erecting it as the column.
		If the origins of the Doric order are a matter of guesswork, this much is clear: that the Greeks used an elementary formula of vertical and horizontal lines of stone, so refined with skill and taste, with strict rules of proportion, that the total effect is one of balance, symmetry, and power.
		Marble was the perfect material for buildings in which sharp edges, clear-cut outline, precision, and the beauty of uncluttered wall surfaces were desired, so that each part, functional and decorative (the sculptured metopes and pediment), might do its work, and the horizontal members could lie without stress or mortar upon the supporting verticals.

		Those built in the Doric style are generally distinguished by their facades consisting of Doric columns, a row of alternating trigluph (thrice-carved) and metope (in-between) panels installed all round the temple above the columns, and a gable roof whose ends were framed into a triangular pediment often adorned with sculpture.
		Hence, the configuration of a Doric temple is not unlike a fairy ring of mushrooms, where Mother Mushroom is completely surrounded and physically supported by her offspring, as represented by the cage of Doric columns.
		The gable ends of the older Doric temples were often crowned with painted terracotta acroteria, that were usually shaped as the greater sector of a circle and decorated in radial fashion not unlike the gills radiating from the central stipe of a mushroom.
