“…57f. Packers Vermutung einer Anbringung der beiden Inschriften als Kopien der ‚großen Dedikationsinschrift des Tempels' an den Portiken, die den Tempel nach seiner Rekonstruktion umgeben sollen, ist schon an sich wenig überzeugend (Packer, Burge [2003] 121 mit Abb. 14).…”

Depicting barbarism on fire: architectural destruction on the Columns of Trajan and Marcus Aurelius

This article explores the depictions of architecture on the Columns of Trajan and Marcus Aurelius. Trajan's Column alone features depictions of over 300 architectural structures, the vast majority of which can be clearly associated with either Roman or Dacian culture, and which project a clear disparity between those cultures. 1 On both columns, destruction plays a crucial rôle in the contrast between Roman and indigenous architecture and cultures. On Trajan's, fully one-fourth of Dacian architectural structures are either on fire or threatened by fire. Both Roman soldiers and Dacian warriors participate in this destruction, filling 7 separate sequences that illustrate the annihilation and erasure of Dacian culture in the face of the Roman advance. The theme of architectural destruction as a metaphor for cultural erasure is echoed on the Column of Marcus Aurelius, but with important modifications that speak to differences in how the two monuments portray war, victory, and aggressive imperialism. 2 8 Hanoune 2000. Architectural depictions are mentioned briefly within the context of a broader discussion of the column as a whole:

“…159 Recently, however, re-study of walls discovered under Palazzo Valentini has suggested to Packer that these may after all come from the podium of the supposed temple; and he also notes that more pieces of granite columns were discovered in the vicinity than would have been necessary for a propylon on the lines proposed by Meneghini. 160 Subsequently, Claridge has suggested that the orientation of the Palazzo, which is set at an angle to the central axis of the Forum of Trajan, may, like that of many other buildings in medieval and renaissance Rome, be determined by the ancient topography of the area, and hypothesizes that the orientation may refl ect the original location of the Temple. 161 Claridge, who had earlier argued that the frieze depicting Trajan's victories in Dacia had been added to a previously undecorated column after his death, 162 would see the group of buildings to the north of Trajan's Forum as similarly refl ecting developments under his successor Hadrian as the Column became Trajan's burial place.…”

This survey article provides an update for the Journal's readers on research relating to the City of Rome in antiquity since 'The City of Rome: from Republic to Empire' appeared in 1992. 1 Extensive archaeological investigations have continued to take place in the city in recent years, given additional impetus by special funding from the Italian state in preparation for the 'Giubileo' (or Millennium) in 2000; while more generally the topography of ancient Rome has continued to be central to the work of historians writing about the city. Recent archaeological work in the city can be roughly divided into three categories: (i) the process of conservation and restoration of the individual monuments, under way since the 1980s; (ii) investigations in areas of the city due to be affected by new building or other infrastructural projects, and unexpected discoveries in similar circumstances; and (iii) research-led excavations in areas of the city hitherto not fully explored. 2 Perhaps most striking of the restoration projects, in terms of the debate it has generated, has been the work on the Arch of Constantine. The restorers concluded that the surviving monument had replaced a demolished Flavian arch on the same site, and was constructed in two phases, one dating to the Hadrianic period, and the other to the early fourth century A.D. The sculptural panels of Hadrianic date on the Constantinian arch might therefore come from an earlier phase of the same monument, rather than having been brought from * I am very grateful to the Editor, Mary Beard, Henry Hurst, and Andrew Wallace-Hadrill for comments on earlier drafts and advice of various kinds; particular thanks are due to Robert Coates-Stephens for guidance on recent discoveries in the city. Needless to say, none of these are responsible for errors or omissions in what follows. The Classical Faculty Library and the University Library in Cambridge, and the Library of the Institute of Classical Studies in London, all provided vital bibliographical support.
