Ionic capital from the immense Hellenistic Temple of Artemis, at the ancient city Sardis, modern day Sart, Turkey. The construction of temple (which was never completely finished) was started around 300 BC and construction dragged on into different phases with changes to its plan over time until the mid-2nd century AD. Only 2 of the original 82 columns are still standing. The temple is the fourth largest Ionic temple in the world and one of the seven largest of all Greek Temples.
