Summary edit

Description

Column with an equestrian statue of Jupiter, with a giant under the fore legs of the horse, on top; the heads on the capitol represent the four seasons.

A Jupiter Column (German: Jupitergigantensäule or Jupitersäule) is an archaeological monument belonging to a type widespread in Roman Germania. Such pillars express the religious beliefs of their time. They were erected in the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD, mostly near Roman settlements or villas in the Germanic provinces.
