A Corinthian capital carefully buried in antiquity in the foundations of the circular [[Tholos (architecture)|tholos]] at [[Epidaurus]] was recovered during modern archaeological campaigns. Its enigmatic presence and preservation have been explained as a sculptor's model for stonemasons to follow<ref>Alison Burford (''The Greek Temple Builders at Epidauros'', Liverpool, 1969, p. 65) suggests instead that it was spoilt in the carving, one volute being incorrectly detached from its field; Hugh Plommer, reviewing it for ''The Classical Review'' (New Series, '''21'''.2 [June 1971], pp 269–272), remarks that the error involved an excess of work and remains convinced that the capital was a model.</ref> in erecting the temple dedicated to [[Asclepius]]. The architectural design of the building was credited in antiquity to the sculptor [[Polykleitos the Younger]], son of the Classical Greek sculptor [[Polykleitos]] the Elder. The temple was erected in the 4th century BC. These capitals, in one of the most-visited sacred sites of Greece, influenced later Hellenistic and Roman designs for the Corinthian order. The concave sides of the abacus meet at a sharp keel edge, easily damaged, which in later and post-Renaissance practice has generally been replaced by a canted corner. Behind the scrolls the spreading cylindrical form of the central shaft is plainly visible.
