The Corinthian order was the third classical design for architecture and the most ornate. Although this particular column does not exactly follow the style, it seems to me it cannot be classified any other way. The rectangular column is one deviation, and another is it's mix with rustic stonework.
A relatively smaller amphitheatre in Pompeii which predates the Coliseum by almost 100 years. It was buried by Vesuvius, like the rest of Pompeii and is believed to be the oldest stone Roman amphitheatre. It is sometimes used for events in modern times. David Gilmour, of Pink Floyd fame, performed a concert here a few months before we visited. Wish we could have seen it live.
