ICA 2. Ionic Capital.<br />

Present loc<strong>at</strong>ion: Naval Museum, Capo Colonna.<br />

Description: This Ionic capital is without a doubt <strong>of</strong> marine provenience, since it shows<br />

clear signs <strong>of</strong> sea encrust<strong>at</strong>ion. However, it is never mentioned in P. Orsi’s reports, nor in<br />

the reports available in the archives <strong>of</strong> the archaeological museum in Reggio Calabria.<br />

The capital is almost completely finished, even though the decor<strong>at</strong>ive elements<br />

(palmettes and ovuli) are only superficially carved.<br />

Marble type: White Synnadic. 358<br />

Length (from volute to volute): 0.75 m<br />

Width (from volute to volute): 0.52 m<br />

Height: 0.30 m<br />

Diameter: 0.50 m<br />

Notes: Not mentioned in P. Orsi’s reports.<br />

Bibliography: Pensabene 1978, 108; Pensabene 2002a, 37.<br />
