Figural Corinthian Capitals in Syria During the Roman Period
This study explores Corinthian capitals in Syria, categorizing them as deities (as Bacchus, Minerva, and Faunus), animals (particularly eagles), masks, and human figures showcasing a transition from Hellenistic to Roman influences. Despite dating challenges, a comprehensive assessment places these capitals in the late 2nd to early 3rd century AD, aligning with a period of architectural activity in the region.
