heal.abstract	Columns of ancient Greek Temples consist of accurately dressed individual blocks in total absence on binding mortars. The seismic response of such multi-drum structures is completely different than the corresponding one of modern continuous structures. Their stability is governed by independent sliding and rocking of drums, which creates an external energy absorption mechanism. This paper presents numerical studies on the dynamic behaviour of ancient columns which exhibits a highly non-linear response. Alternative modeling methods are used and calibrated to experimental results. It is concluded that ancient columns may be less vulnerable to seismic events compared to modern structures. The perfection of the form unified esthetical, architectural and structural requirements. © Ernst & Sohn Verlag für Architektur und technische Wissenschaften GmbH & Co. KG.	en
