A Saxon post mile column, also known colloquially as a Saxon post mile column, is a milestone that specifies distances and walking times to within an eighth of an hour. The design of the stones varies depending on the distance they represent, they can be in the shape of an obelisk, an ancient herm or a stele. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurs%C3%A4chsische_Postmeilens%C3%A4ule
