Map / Pfünz - Der "goldene" Meilenstein
Diese Säule soll auf das am Ortsrand von Pfünz gelegene Römerkastell Castra Vetoniana und den Limes aufmerksam machen.

Als Vorbild diente dem Künstler der goldene Meilenstein „milliarium aureum“ am Forum Romanum in Rom. Die römischen Meilensteine standen hauptsächlich an markanten topographischen Punkten wie Brücken oder Straßenkreuzungen. Hier in Pfünz kreuzten sich die Römerstraßen Weißenburg – Kösching und Nassenfels – Böhming. Eine strategisch wichtige Brücke über die Altmühl sollte durch das errichtete Kastell Castra Vetoniana bewacht werden.
