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.
