Of the columns listed above, the following are the Roman columns.Romantriumphal columns were eithermonolithicpillars or composed of column drums; in the later case, these were often hollowed out to accommodate anancient spiral staircase leading up to the platform on top.

The earliest triumphal column wasTrajan's Column which, dedicated in 113 AD, defined its architectural form and established its symbolic value as a political monument alongside the olderRoman triumphal arches, providing a lingering model for its successors to this day. The imperial capitals ofRome andConstantinople house the most ancient triumphal columns.

All dimensions are given here inmetres, though it was theRoman foot by which ancient architects determined the harmonious proportions of the columns, and which is thus crucial for understanding their design.^[13] The list is sorted by date of erection.
