Inscribed Pedestal

Inscribed Pedestal

Macellum, Jerash
This modified object is inscribed for Tiberius Alexandros, governor of the province in 130 AD. The pedestal most likely supported a statue of the governor, who paid for the construction of the marketplace. Drilled straight through the base is an opening for a lead pipe, which would have conducted water to the fountain seen on the previous page.
