About
Iaat (Arabic: إيعات also transliterated as Ya'ad, Yaad, Yaat, or Iaad) is a town and municipality located approximately 5 kilometers northwest of Baalbek, in the Beqaa Valley of Lebanon. The town is famed for its Corinthian column, the Iaat column. This is a single column of unknown date (but probably dated from Roman times), approximately halfway between Baalbek and Qasr el Banat, with a cartouche on the 6th drum but no inscription.
