The cyma reversa form occurs in antiquity. Cyma reversa mouldings are used on the battens. For example, in ancient Persia, the Tomb of Cyrus featured the cyma reversa. The ceiling is supported by eight large "cyma reversa" brackets, all in the Italian manner. The doorway's wooden molding is of a cyma reversa, reverse S, curve. The molding of the edge of the upper rail is a reversed S ("cyma reversa"). Alternative names for such a true Roman ogee moulding include "cyma reversa" and "talon".
