Capital (Or Cap),
the head of a column, pilaster, etc. In classical architecture, the orders have each their respective capitals, which differ considerably from .one another, but their characteristics are easily distinguished; there are, however, considerable differences to be found in a few of the ancient examples, as in the Corinthian orders of the temple of Vesta at Tivoli, and of the Choragic monument of Lysicrates at Athens; there are also a few capitals totally unlike those of any of the five orders, as in the Temple of the Winds, at Athens. In Norman and Gothic architecture they are endlessly diversified.
