Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most important monuments of Imperial Rome and at the same time one of the most poorly understood, the Column of Marcus Aurelius has long stood in the shadow of the Column of Trajan. In The Column of Marcus Aurelius, Martin Beckmann makes a thorough study of the form, content, and meaning of this infrequently studied monument. Beckmann employs a new approach to the column, one that focuses on the process of its creation and construction, to uncover the cultural significance of the column to the Romans of the late second century A.D. Using clues from ancient sources and from the monument itself, this book traces the creative process step by step from the first decision to build the monument through the processes of planning and construction to the final carving of the column's relief decoration. The conclusions challenge many of the widely held assumptions about the value of the column's 700-foot-long frieze as a historical source. By reconstructing the creative process of the column's sculpture, Beckmann opens up numerous new paths of analysis not only to the Column of Marcus Aurelius but also to Roman imperial art and architecture in general.

Book excerpt: Did Trajan really deserve his reputation as the embodiment of all imperial virtues? Why did Dante, writing in the Middle Ages, place him in the sixth sphere of Heaven among the Just and Temperate rulers? In this, the only biography of Trajan available in English, Julian Bennett rigorously tests the substance of this glorious reputation. Surprisingly, for a Roman emperor, Trajan comes through the test with his reputation relatively intact.

Book excerpt: "Domitian's Dacian War, two punitive expeditions mounted as a border defense against raids of Moesia from Dacia in 86?87 AD ordered by the Emperor Titus Flavius Domitianus against Dacia and the Dacian king Decebalus Trajan's Dacian Wars, two campaigns of conquest ordered or led by the Emperor Trajan in 101?102 AD and 105?106 AD from Moesia against Dacia and Decebalus ... Trajan's Column (Italian: Colonna Traiana) is a Roman triumphal column in Rome, Italy, that commemorates Roman emperor Trajan's victory in the Dacian Wars. It was probably constructed under the supervision of the architect Apollodorus of Damascus at the order of the Roman Senate. It is located in Trajan's Forum, built near the Quirinal Hill, north of the Roman Forum. Completed in AD 113, the freestanding column is most famous for its spiral bas relief, which artistically describes the epic wars between the Romans and Dacians (101?102 and 105?106). Its design has inspired numerous victory columns, both ancient and modern."--Wikipedia.

Book excerpt: Trajan - Lion of Rome is a historical novel, based on the life of the Emperor Trajan (ruled 98-117 AD), who expanded the Roman Empire to its maximum size. The reader plunges into a world riveted by the power struggles between Empire and rebels, Emperor and Senate and Rome versus competing kingdoms at its borders. The book is meticulously researched and stays true to the historic events.Trajan, the son of a general, grows up with aspirations to exceed his thriving father as a soldier. Successful beyond his own expectations, Trajan is soon drawn into the conflict between the tyrant Domitian and a resentful Senate, led by Nerva. He needs to choose sides, supported by his wife Plotina and cousin Hadrian. After Domitian¿s assassination Nerva takes over and appoints Trajan as his successor. When Nerva dies two years later Trajan¿s time has come. Now he has to prove himself against the temptations of power and the siren song of military glory. He succeeds by leading a war of necessity against Dacian invaders, but his conquest of Mesopotamia turns into a huge challenge for himself and the whole Roman army.

Book excerpt: "Estoy interesado en cómo hacemos la transición como personas de una fase de la vida a otra, y como culturas de un período histórico a otro. Las transiciones son a menudo difíciles, tal vez incluso atemorizantes." Con esta presentación, podemos imaginar que el trabajo del arquitecto artista Jorge Otero-Pailos será diferente, especialmente respecto a cómo entendemos el paso del tiempo de la arquitectura en la historia. "The Ethics of Dust" evidencia la limpieza del polvo y los residuos de contaminación de reconocidos edificios y monumentos históricos. Haciendo visible lo invisible.
