The Architecture of Tiberias

The columns, bases, cornices and capitals attest to the superb architecture of the public buildings in Tiberias. These were built according to the 2nd-3rd centuries CE Roman Imperial tradition. The architectural elements were made of local limestone and basalt as well as marble and grey granite imported from Asia Minor and North America.

Columns

Columns created large spaces in public building. They stood up to 4.5 m. high and consisted of a base, a drum and a capital. The drums were cut from monolithic stone, or built of sections that fit each other.

Capitals

Capitals were placed on top of each columns and supported the horizontal beams. The Doric capital was shaped as a simple, plain up-side-down cone with a square, flat top. The Ionic capital was adorned by spirals on its facade and the Corinthian capital was decorated by two rows of Acanthus leaves and a flower.
