Topic: Adamclisi


In the News (Sun 27 May 12)

  
  THE MUSEUM COMPLEX OF ADAMCLISI
Here, as at Adamclisi too, the scenes present some easy to be recognized ethnographical elements mainly as concerning the Dacians: long tunics lateraly cut, tight and waved pants; on their heads they had bonets.
In the South-West part of the village Adamclisi, at about 600 m distance from it or about 1,500 m from the triumphal monument, on a plateau situated in the Urluia valley, the landscape is completed with some stone, brick and concrete ruins which are sprinkled on a surface more than 100 ha.
The very advantageous position of the Geto-Dacians settlement in the area of village Adamclisi, situated along the one of the most important commercial roads which connected Callatis and the Danube, determined intense trade relations between Greeks and the native populations.

 ARMAMENTARIVM: The Tropaeum Traiani at Adamclisi   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
There are three monuments at Adamclisi: a mausoleum, an altar, and a trophy, all situated near the town of Tropaeum Traiani in the region of the Dobrudja (RO).
The trophy was constructed in AD 107/8 and dedicated to Mars Ultor, taking the form of a drum surmounted by a large trophy on a hexagonal plinth.
Most (a total of 48) are now in the site museum at Adamclisi, but one (Metope XXVIII) is to be found in the Archaeological Museum in Istanbul.

 Ruins in Romania - The Honolulu Advertiser - Hawaii's Newspaper
I was attracted to the Earthwatch-funded archaeological dig of the Roman frontier fort at Halmyris.
The restored monument is a cylindrical structure 131 feet in diameter and originally the same height, topped with a 49-foot statue wearing the armor of a Roman soldier.
Below the grass where the sheep grazed were several acres of hidden ruins built on a monumental scale — huge stone buildings, walls, gates and catapult towers designed to fend off the barbarian onslaught from the north.

 PTERUGES AND THE LORICA SEGMENTATA
The Trajanic Adamclisi metopes show legionaries wearing scale and mail armor with single and double rows of pteruges (plus manicae, a laminated arm defense), but it is unclear whether we are looking at regular rankers or higher-grade legionaries (a class of "super heavy infantry" raised for this particular campaign?) in specially augmented equipment.
Curiously, despite the ubiquity of the lorica segmentata on Trajan's column, this form of armor is not shown at all in Adamclisi.
In any event, it indicates that any "rules" or "taboos" that exited limiting pteruges to higher ranks may have become blurred or simply discarded during the exigencies of continuous combat.

 Romanian Ancient History Page
After a first confrontation during the reign of Domitian (87-89), two extremely tough wars were necessary (101-102 and 105-106) to the Roman empire, at the peak of its power under Emperor Trajan (98-117) to defeat Decebal and turn most of his kingdom into the Roman province called
Trajan's Column erected in Rome and the Triumphal Monument at Adamclisi (Dobrudja) tell the story of this military effort, which was followed by a systematic and massive colonisation of the new territories that were integrated into the empire.
The Dacians, although they had suffered heavy casuals, remained, even after the new rule was established, the main ethnic element in Dacia; the province was subjected to a complex Romanization process, its basic element being the staged but definitive adoption of the Latin language.
