Abstract (english)	Monolithic columns played a central role in the formation of a distinctive Roman architecture, especially in the periods when they were not widely produced. First, the earliest monolithic columns used in Rome during the Republican period arrived as spoils of war taken from cities in the Hellenistic east. From the beginning, architects in Rome found ways to integrate these impressive blocks into their architecture and even to invent new building types in order to accommodate the vast number of columns on hand. Second, this idea of centering the design of a new building around an accumulated set of monolithic columns was revived in the late Roman period, and is seen at many Constantinian and later churches in Rome and the provinces. Remarkable is the persistence and wide spread of this habit, which extends through Medieval, Renaissance, and even Baroque times.
