(Roman
Column
47
km)
This
monument
stands
alone
in
the
center
of
the
Beqaa
plain
halfway
between
Baalbeck
and
the
town
of
Chlifa.
The
eighteen-meter
column,
with
a
Corinthian
capital,
stands
on
four
huge
stone
steps.
A
plaque
which
was
once
on
the
north
face
has
been
removed
and
with
it
went
all
information
about
the
column.
Local
legend
associates
it
with
St.
Helena,
but
it
is
most
likely
a
funerary
monument. |
