As the king of beasts a lion was meant to convey strength, courage, and power in early Rome. In the days of Caesar, it was common for military and political leaders to have a lions head on the front door as a door knocker. It also came to symbolize the fallen hero and was often used in cemeteries and on caskets.

The depiction of a lion is often one of the more forgotten symbols of Rome. A lion in antiquity is seen to portray the Roman people as well as the strength and sovereignty of the Roman Empire.

Piazza di Monte Citorio or Piazza Montecitorio is a piazza in Rome. It is named after the Monte Citorio, one of the minor hills of Rome. The piazza contains the Obelisk of Montecitorio and the Palazzo Montecitorio. The base of the column of Antoninus Pius was also once sited here.
