Early Greek architecture consisted of small wooden houses, followed by the Stone Age House of Tiles. The earliest temples were built in the simple yet strong Doric style with columns lacking bases. The Ionic style from 500 BC had more ornate columns sitting on small bases and featuring double-curved stone at the top. The fanciest Corinthian style, often used by Romans, had elaborate carved leaves and the best example is the Pantheon.
