Mixed order
Mixed order means the mixing of significant elements or properties of the ancient column orders . This phenomenon, which is particularly widespread in Hellenistic Asia Minor, is mostly shown as a combination of Doric and Ionic components; the late classical cult buildings in Labraunda ( Asia Minor ) are among the earliest examples of this . But the Tuscan (e.g. Zeus temple of Pergamon) and Corinthian order ( e.g. Augustus temple on the Nile island of Philae) were modified in mixed orders. The meaning of the mixed orders is unclear because the ancient written sources are silent about it, in many cases the research sees cultural or political references.
