| Description | This white, sandstone column is located 1.42 m from the west face of the East Exedra wall (measurement is taken to the Lewis hole). It stands two courses in height and measures 0.59 m. Its extant height is less that its twin to the east; however, several of its drums have fallen in front of it to the north and could serve for restoration. This column is, unfortunately, very soft and fragile and has lost its shape having been heavily eroded. |
