The base of Jupiter columns consisted of a stone block with carved reliefs of four gods. Juno (protector of towns), Minerva (patron of artisans and traders), Hercules (patron of traffic, profit and the house) and Mercury (god of trade and travel) were particularly popular motifs.
This base was surmounted by an intermediate zone with illustrations of the gods of the days of the week. Luna (Monday), Mars (Tuesday), Mercury (Wednesday), Jupiter (Thursday), Venus (Friday), Saturn (Saturday) and Sol (Sunday).
On this stone stood a column decorated with a scale pattern and crowned by a statue of Jupiter. This could have a variety of forms, e.g. Jupiter victorious on horseback, riding down a giant with snake-like legs; Jupiter enthroned, or a group of figures - Jupiter sitting next to the goddess Juno.
The entire monument was covered with a thin layer of light plaster and painted in colour.
Such columns were set up in the open air within towns and settlements, in or near Roman villas, and in sanctuaries.
They were financed by private persons, town councillors or public bodies such as towns.
The stone of the four gods visible here is a copy. The original was found in 1906 on the site of the Roman villa in Schwalbach and can be seen in the Museum of Wiesbaden.Danach opfere die Sau …«
