In classical architecture, anta (plural: antae) are the posts or pillars that project slightly at the end of a wall. Usually these would flank the doorways or entrances of Greek and Roman temples.

The difference between antae and columns or pillars is that they are directly connected with the temple walls. They evolved from the structural posts made of timber that were used to reinforce the brick walls of more primitive palaces or temples.

While they began by having a load-bearing function, they became more decorative as the wall materials became sufficient for supporting the structure, and so became a forerunner of the pilaster.

Often, temples would have columns positioned between antae. These were described as being ‘in antis’.
