PLATE XII. ARCHED DORIC INTERCOLUMNIATION WITHPEDESTAL. Ix this modification of the Doric Order there are 15moduli between centers of columns, and 25^ moduli intotal height. The arch opening is 20 moduli high and 10 moduli wide.This proportion of parts gives a good distribution of thetriglypli and metope. The pedestal is 5^ moduli high, and the column, withbase and caj^ital, is 16 moduli high. The pilasters are 5 moduli wide. The top of the arch is 2 moduli below the entablature.For the details, see previous plates.

PLATE XIIT. THE IONIC PEDESTAL. It must be remembered here that the Ionic, Composite,and Corinthian modulus is divided into 18 parts. Vignolagives the pedestal as 6 moduli high (which is one-third ofthe column, with base and capital). It is divided into 3parts,—base, plinth, and cap. The base is 9 parts high andprojects 8 parts. The plinth is 5 moduli high, includingtwo fillets. It is 2 moduli and 14 parts wide. The cap isi modulus high and projects 10 parts. The outline is givenwith full dimensions. Concerning the Column. The base of the column is 1 modulus high and projects7 parts. Vignola gives this column 24 semicircular flutings, whichare 3^ parts in diameter, leaving a space between each twoof one-third the fluting. (The exact proportions are : fluting, 3.534 parts ; space,1.178 parts.)
