Description

Partially fluted; composed of three drums. The second drum is partially fluted, with fillets that end in a U-shaped moulding. Though too high to measure, on the third drum there are small cuttings, probably for hanging garland or other fittings.

The column is reconstructed in the South Stoa, although the reliability of reconstruction is not confirmed.
