介绍（中）	这对双柱的三面装饰着低浮雕的常春藤藤，体现了罗马建筑中彩色大理石的奢华使用和精心雕刻。幼常春藤的枝条和浆果丛从中央茎发出，中央茎从底部华丽的花萼垂直升起。鸟类、昆虫和爬行动物栖息在郁郁葱葱的树叶上，它们都以生动、自然的方式雕刻，让人想起春天的花园。这些柱子由cipollino verde（也称为marmor carystium）制成，这是一种珍贵的条纹绿色大理石，因其多色性而备受青睐。异国情调的彩色大理石象征着崇高的地位，并被保留给皇家和著名的公共建筑。浮雕的高质量工艺也暗示着帝国的委任。这些柱子可能来自哈德良皇帝在罗马城外蒂沃利的别墅，那里类似的柱子支撑着花园建筑。后来，它们被重新用作门侧柱，如铁铰链的位置所示，它们被倒置放置。
介绍（英）	Decorated on three sides with ivy vines in low relief, these twin pillars exemplify the lavish use of colored marble and elaborate carving in Roman architecture. Branches of young ivy and clusters of berries issue from the central stalk that rises vertically from an ornate calyx krater at the base. Birds, insects, and reptiles inhabit the trailing lush foliage, all carved in a vivid, naturalistic manner that evokes a garden in springtime. The pillars are made of cipollino verde (also known as marmor carystium), a precious striated greenish marble desired for its polychromy. Exotic colored marbles conveyed elevated status and were reserved for imperial and prestigious public buildings. The high-quality craftsmanship of the relief also suggests an imperial commission. The pillars probably come from emperor Hadrian’s villa at Tivoli, outside Rome, where similar pillars supported garden buildings. Reused at a later period as doorjambs, they were placed upside-down, as the position of the iron hinges presently shows.
