Robinson). End of 1st century BC/1st century AD (O. Broneer)","","Somewhat less than the right half of highly ornamental pilaster capital. Includes the abacus (ornamented with shallow tongues in low relief and ovolo). Flat calathus partly covered by two crowns of acanthus. Lower row has alternating lobe-shaped and conventional acanthus leaves; second crown leaves are more  widely spaced , with S-shaped leaf and two helices near center. Surfaces smooth with slight, fine flat-chisel marks. Back is roughly picked and the lower edge of the front is chiseled down as if to let capital sit in a socket  or fitting at the top of  pilaster. There are three cuttings for hook-clamps, one on top, two on rear right side.; ; Broneer has noted the similarities of this capital to those of the Odeion of Agrippa in Athens, probably built between 16 and 12 BC, and a date for our capital in the last quarter of the first century BC has been supported by a series of later  ""capital” studies.  Associated elements from the fountain are unlikely to predate the first decade AC (likely Tiberian period) and suggest such a later date for this capital. For detailed discussion see B. Robinson (2001) 274-278.","","Object"
