In the first three chapters of the New Testament book of Revelation the author addresses seven churches in the Roman Province of Asia (=modern western Turkey). In doing this he often makes allusions to cultural items that were especially meaningful to his first century hearers.
Temple of Zeus at Euromos (Turkey)
For example, in the name of Jesus he writes to the Church at Philadelphia:
I am coming soon … the one who overcomes I will make a pillar in the temple of my God … I will write on him the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from my God; and I will also write on him my new name. Rev 3:11–13 (NIV)
Inscribed columns are found in a number of temples in the Greco-Roman world, but the inscriptions on the columns of the Temple of Zeus at Euromos in southwestern Turkey are especially noteworthy.
Dedicatory Inscription/Placard
These inscriptions typically note who donated the column! For example, Menecrates, a physician and magistrate donated five of the 30 columns of this temple and Leo Quintus, a magistrate donated another seven.

Hi, Have you come across other temple pillars with names on them? I’m researching the phrase “I will also write on him my new name” in Rev 3:12.
