Скачать или смотреть The Roman Army on Campaign THREE Trajan's Column 2

The second part of our walk through of the reliefs on Trajan's Column, starting part way through the first conflict. As I said before, you often see scenes from Trajan's Column because it shows so many details of life on campaign, and depicts the Roman army's equipment from armour to baggage waggons and artillery. We also get shown the enemy, the Dacians of King Decebalus, and some of their allies, like the Sarmatians. Such images are often used to illustrate campaigns fought centuries before or after the Dacian Wars of the Emperor Trajan, fought in AD 101-102 and 105-106, and they tend to appear as isolated pictures. Today I thought that we would have a look at the sculptures as a whole and start to think about the story they tell and the way it is presented.
