    Jupiter Giant Column, circa 200 AD, in front of the castle in Ladenburg.
    This is a copy; the original is in the Lobdengau Museum.
    Jupiter Giant Columns are a special feature of the northern provinces and may have originated from Celtic influences.
    They consist of a four-god stone as a base, a second cubic base, a scaled column with a Corinthian capital and genii heads, and the crowning figure of a lightning-wielding Jupiter riding down a giant.

    The original column is now in the Lobdengau Museum. The original was partially destroyed in the middle of the third century during an attack by Germanic tribes and thrown into a well, where the column was found again in the 1970s.
