Amakholomu e-Stone Romanngokuvamile asetshenziswa kuizinsimbi zamatshe nezinsika zamatshe. Amakholomu aseRomazakhiwe ngezinsika zamatshe namatshe cornices. Ikholomu yetshe ingahlukaniswa izingxenye ezintathu:isisekelo sekholomu, umzimba wekholomufuthiikholomu cap(ikhephu yekholomu). Ngenxa yobukhulu obuhlukahlukene, izilinganiso kanye nokubunjwa kwengxenye ngayinye, kanye nokwelashwa okuhlukene kanye namaphethini okuhlobisa ama-shafts ekholomu, izitayela ezahlukene zekholomu zakhiwa.

Le kholomu yamaRoma iwuhlobo olubizwa ngokuthiIkholomu ye-Ionic, kanyeIkholomu ye-Ionicibizwa nangokuthi ikholomu yabesifazane. Ngenxa yesimo sayo esihle nesihloniphekile, ikholomu ye-Ionic ibonakala kabanzi enanini elikhulu lezakhiwo zaseGrisi lasendulo, njengeThempeli LikaNkulunkulukazi Wokunqoba kanye neThempeli lika-Erechtheion e-Acropolis yase-Athene.

Lolu hlobo lwekholomu luncane kakhulu, lulula, futhi lugcwele imifanekiso eqoshiwe emihle. Umzimba wekholomu mude, mncane phezulu futhi ugqinsile phansi, kodwa awunawo ukugoba. I-groove yomzimba wekholomu ijulile futhi i-semicircular. Inhloko-dolobha engenhla iqukethe ifrieze futhi ngaphezu kwayo imiqulu emibili emikhulu eyindilinga exhumekile enophahla ngqo ngaphezu kwe-architrave. Ngamafuphi, kunikeza abantu umoya okhululekile, ophilayo, okhululekile futhi omuhle. Isici sekholomu ye-Ionic eGreece ukuthi izacile futhi yinhle, inemifantu engu-24 emzimbeni wekholomu kanye nokuhlotshiswa kokuskrola okuya phansi ekhanda lekholomu. Ikholomu ye-Ionic ibizwa nangokuthi ikholomu yabesifazane.

Sesineminyaka engu-43 sisebenza embonini yezithombe, siyakwamukela ukwenza ngokwezifiso izithombe zemabula, izithombe zethusi, izithombe zensimbi engagqwali kanye nemifanekiso ye-fiberglass.
