A rostral column is a type of victory column originating in ancient Greece and Rome, where they were erected to commemorate a naval military victory. Its defining characteristic is the integrated prows or rams of ships, representing captured or destroyed enemy ships. The name derives from the Latin rostrum meaning the bow of a naval vessel.[1]

Rostral columns of the modern world include the Columbus Monument at Columbus Circle in New York City,[2] and the paired Saint Petersburg Rostral Columns.[3]
