Columna de Júpiter

Description

Una columna de Júpiter és un monument arqueològic erigit en la Magna Germania en temps de l'Imperi romà. Tals pilars expressen les creences religioses del seu temps. S'erigiren entre els s. II i III, sobretot a la rodalia d'assentaments o viles romanes de les províncies germanes. També se'n donaren alguns exemples a la Gàl·lia i Britània. Aquests monuments no s'encerclaven amb murs ni tanques, anaven acompanyats d'un altar.

La base estava constituïda per una viergötterstein , com es feia normalment per a altres déus. Aquesta suportava un wochengötterstein, és a dir, una personificació dels set dies de la setmana. La columna es coronava amb una estàtua de Júpiter, normalment a cavall i lluitant contra gegants o serps. En alguns casos, com a Walheim, el capitell era decorat amb quatre caps que interpretaven les fases del dia . En total, tota la columna solia fer 4 m, i n'hi havia excepcions com la de Magúncia, de 9 m d'alçada.
