Nice highlight by the wayside. Only the lower part of the column still exists. It originates from the Jupiter cult and is dated to the 2nd half of the 2nd century AD. The information board tells a bit more about the history and why it stands right here.

The Jupiter Giant Column in Mosbach-Diedesheim is a faithful reconstruction of a Roman votive monument from the 2nd or 3rd century AD. The original was archaeologically discovered in 1986.
The square base shows reliefs of Roman deities, including Mercury. The column with a Corinthian capital is crowned by an equestrian statue.
Such Jupiter columns were typical monuments in the Germanic provinces and symbolized the victory of Jupiter and Roman culture over evil.
