EDITORS COMMENTS
Trajan Goes to War: A Moment of Triumph on the Danube This evocative image captures the Roman Emperor Trajan (53-117 AD) in the midst of his military campaigns in the Eastern provinces. Trajan, known for his extensive conquests and military prowess, is depicted here receiving tribute from defeated tribes along the Danube River. The scene exudes a sense of victory and triumph, with Trajan, dressed in military attire and seated on his throne, surrounded by his soldiers and the offerings of the vanquished. The historical significance of this moment is profound. Trajan's military successes in the East expanded the Roman Empire's borders, securing new territories and resources. These achievements would be immortalized in Rome through the construction of Trajan's Column, an impressive monument that stands as a testament to the emperor's military triumphs and the reach of the Roman Empire. The intricately carved column, completed in 113 AD, is a visual representation of Trajan's campaigns, with reliefs depicting the battles, sieges, and military maneuvers that led to his victories. The column's base includes a spiral staircase that allows visitors to climb to the top and take in the breathtaking view of Rome, a fitting reward for those who have made the arduous climb. This photograph, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the Roman Empire was at the height of its power and influence. The image's historical and artistic value makes it an invaluable addition to any collection or display, providing a window into the rich history of Rome and its emperors.
