The columna almost always requires improving, and, in Liston's method, to be made.

In front of it was the columna bellica, where the ceremony of declaring war by the fetialis was performed.

Here is likewise a Columna Milliaria, with something engraven on it, but I could not stay to consider it.

Columna staminum e basi nuda super ad apicem usque antherifera: antheris reniformibus, loculis apice confluentibus.
