Auf dem Hauptplatz von Mautern in der Steiermark steht eine Mariensäule auf einem vierseitigen Podest. Die vordere Seite des Podests enthält ein Chronogramm:

DeI para VItso
MVLIer fortIs
tIbI
statVa Ista
eXtrVCta
fVIt

Das Chronogramm verweist auf das Jahr 1693, in dem die Säule zum Dank für die überstandene Pest errichtet wurde.

Die römischen Zahlen sind zur Verdeutlichung größer geschrieben. Interessant ist, dass (vermutlich bei einer der Restaurierungen) das "tr" in "extructa" als "n1" interpretiert wurde.

On the Hauptplatz (main square) of Mautern in Styria there is a Marian column on a four-sided pedestal. The front side of the pedestal contains a chronogram:

DeI para VItso
MVLIer fortIs
tIbI
statVa Ista
eXtrVCta
fVIt

The chronogram refers to the year 1693, in which the column was erected in thanksgiving for the survived plague.

The Roman numerals are written larger for clarity. It is interesting that (probably in one of the restorations) the "tr" in "extructa" was construed as "n1".
