History
The Jupiter Column is a widely known regional monument expressing popular religious beliefs. Generally, the column consists of three superimposed elements: the base takes the form of a "four-deity stone", with bas-reliefs often depicting Juno, Minerva, Hercules, and Mercury. Above this base, there is often an octagonal pedestal featuring the seven deities of the week and an additional god. The column itself is often decorated with scales and ends with a capital, crowned by a sculpted group representing Jupiter defeating a giant.
Examples can be found in our regions from the second half of the 1st century AD. These columns are erected in honor of Jupiter Optimus Maximus, the celestial god, to invoke his protection for the well-being of the family and the estate. Many elements of Jupiter Columns have been found on Luxembourgish territory.
