ICA 3. Ionic Capital.<br />

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

Description: This Ionic capital is well preserved and almost clean <strong>of</strong> marine encrust<strong>at</strong>ion.<br />

Its provenience from the aqu<strong>at</strong>ic environment is obvious, but since it is never mentioned in<br />

P. Orsi’s reports, nor in the reports available in the archives <strong>of</strong> the archaeological museum<br />

in Reggio Calabria, it is not sure th<strong>at</strong> it came from the Punta Scifo A wreck site.<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. 359<br />

Length (from volute to volute): unknown<br />

Width (from volute to volute): unknown<br />

Height: unknown<br />

Diameter (available for a column): unknown<br />

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

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