Description:

The Columna Miliaria was built by Augustus in around 20 BC and was called the Milliareum Aureum or Golden milestone. It bore a bronze tablet with various destinations and the distances over Roman roads from the city of Rome. This column, considered a point of convergence of the great roads, probably stood between the Rostra and the Temple of Saturn, but its foundations have not been found.
