It belongs to the second century of our era, accidentally discovered in 1960 by an Egyptian-Polish expedition in Kom el Dekka.

Then we turn to the column of Pompey, which was built in honor of Diocletian in 292 AD.

The Crusaders gave the name to this column 'Pompey', because they mistakenly believed that Pompey's head was buried at the top of the column.

The column is made of pink granite, has a top in the Corinthian style, and its height reached 26.85 meters.
