Conflicting Evidence
The only remaining archaeological evidence for the monument is a large round footing in the Augustan Rostra thought to be in the correct position and of the correct size. Nearby at the foot of the Temple of Saturn there is a fragment of a large curved base labeled "Milliarium" which is seems more likely to be a fragment of the Umbilicus.
(Level of certainty: medium)
Determining Building Footprint
The monument was sized based on the footing and decorated with the "Milliarium" piece.
