In architecture, a cippus is a small, low column, sometimes without a base or capital, and most often bearing an inscription. In ancient times cippus were used as mile stones indicating the distance to remote places along a road, as memorial stones and boundaries, and in some cases to receive the inscribed decrees of the Roman senate.
