Superposed order (also superimposed)[1] is one where successive storeys of a building have different orders.[2] The most famous ancient example of such an order is the Colosseum at Rome, which had no less than four storeys of superposed orders.[3] The superposition rules were developed in ancient Greece and were also actively used in the architecture of ancient Rome. Later, the order was used in the architecture of the Renaissance and Baroque.
