The Roman Column challenge

I have a few. It's a good thing that there were always so many handy columns standing around in the ancient world to lean on.

That’s a great shot of Marcus Aurelius’ column.

 

The columns on this coin support temple structures for Nero's deified wife Poppaea Sabina and their daughter Claudia who died in 63 AD at the age of four months. It is the only coinage issued in Claudia's name. When Claudia was born, Nero honored her and her mother with the title Augusta. Poppaea was Nero's second wife, and he was her third husband (Otho was her prior husband). Pappaea died in 65 AD (killed by Nero while pregnant with another child according to Tacitus, Suetonius, and Cassius Dio). Nero ended his own life three years later at age 30.
