But I think it will have to go to Dave who actually named the columns The first tier was decorated in Doric columns, the second in Ionian columns, and the third in Corinthian columns. When the weather was hot, large awnings were placed over the top of the Colosseum to provide shade to the many spectators. A special fourth tier at the top of the Colosseum anchored these awnings.
