Decennalia, Victory column at Roman Forum, Italy
The Decennalia column stands on a marble base with relief carvings displaying ceremonial scenes and ritual processions on all four sides.
The monument was constructed in 303 CE during Diocletian's first visit to Rome, marking the tenth anniversary celebration of the Tetrarchic Caesars.
The base features depictions of two winged Victories bearing a shield with inscriptions, representing the connection between military success and Roman traditions.
Located near the Arch of Septimius Severus, the column's preserved base contains detailed carvings of senators, priests, and sacrificial ceremonies.
The monument originally consisted of five columns representing the two Augusti, two Caesares, and Jupiter, symbolizing the power structure of the Tetrarchy.
