The Great Mainz Jupiter Column is a civil monument erected in Mogontiacum in the second half of the first century in honor of the Roman god Jupiter. It is the oldest and largest as well as the most elaborate Jupiter column that has been found in the German-speaking world so far. The Great Mainz Jupiter Column was the model for other Jupiter Columns, especially built in the second and third centuries, in the Roman provinces of Germania inferior (Lower Germania) and Germania superior (Upper Germania). It was destroyed in the late period of the Roman Empire and rediscovered in 1904/05. Today, the reconstructed remains can be seen in the stone hall of the State Museum in Mainz. Copies of the Great Mainz Jupiter Column can be found not only in Mainz itself, but also at the Saalburg Castle, in Saint-Germain-en-Laye and in Rome.
