Amakholomu e-Stone Roman ngokuvamile asetshenziswa ezinsikeni zamatshe nasezinsikeni zamatshe.Amakholomu amaRoma akhiwe ngezinsika zamatshe namakhoni amatshe.Ikholomu yetshe ingahlukaniswa ibe izingxenye ezintathu: isisekelo sekholomu, umzimba wekholomu kanye nesivalo sekholomu (ikepisi lekholomu).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 ngokuthi ikholomu ye-Ionic, futhi ikholomu ye-Ionic ibizwa 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, inemigqa 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 eziqoshiwe zemabula, izithombe zethusi, izithombe zensimbi engagqwali kanye nemifanekiso ye-fiberglass.
