Plain small blocks or sub-plinths under columns, statues, etc., to elevate them: unlike pedestals they have no moldings. 2. Scamilli impares was a term used by Vitruvius, and appears to refer to the slight upward curve in the center of a stylobate or to the units of measurement required to achieve this optical correction.
