Topic: Gate of Trajan


  
  Talk:Trajan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yes, but while Trajan came from a provincial family, Claudius's family was of true Italian blood (not to mention the Royal Family!), so Claudius is considered Italian and not provincial because he was born to a pure-blood Italian family in the army camps.
Trajan's family was Spanish and was constantly Spanish until his father moved the boy to Italy.
Trajan's "provincial family," the Ulpii, was originally from Italy and settled in Spain not long after the Second Punic War.

 Italy - Asseria And Trajan's Route To Dacia
It is that of a memorial gate to the Emperor Trajan, erected to him in 113 by his praetorian prefect, or military commander of the province, P. Atilius Aebutianus, and dedicated, with a banquet, by Laelius Proculus, for the city.
The gate was still standing to a height of between fourteen and fifteen feet, and all the elements of the upper structure were found lying at the base.
But when Trajan, some time after Dacia had submitted, had convinced himself in 103 and 104 that Decebalus and Dacia were not honest in their professions of peace and were secretly preparing for hostility, he determined on a war of conquest, and on carrying the Roman border across the river.

 Biographies: Trajan   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
Trajan clearly enjoyed the favour of Domitian, who in 91 allowed him to hold one of the two consulships, which, even under the empire, remained most prestigious offices.
Trajan undertook or encouraged extensive public works in the provinces, Italy, and Rome: roads, bridges, aqueducts, the reclamation of wastelands, the construction of harbours and buildings.
Trajan's second major war was against the Parthians, Rome's traditional enemy in the east.

 irongate.mojblog.com - Iron gate
It got today's appearance after the failure of Serbian uprising, when Turks enlarged it and gave it a shape which was suitable for the waging war at that time.
The first gate leads to the bank of the Danube, and the other two are towards land and there were drawbridges for passing through them.
Trajan's road is in fact an extension of the previously built Tiberius' road through Upper Gorge.

 Syria Gate -  Bosra - Carol Miller
With its stolid magnificence and its unique Arab-Hellenistic architectural synthesis, the gate marked the eastern exit from the city, and may have led to the palace of the Nabatean king Rabbel II.
Trajan had even built a second century palace here, a rectangular structure, fifty by thirty-three meters on two levels, with galleries elevated on pilasters.
Coins became a significant aspect of this culture of trade and commerce, and were minted especially with the image of "Philip the Arab" (Marcus Julius Philippus) -- a native of the Hauran born in nearby Shahba (Philippopolis)-- emperor from 244 to 249.

 Janos Hunyadi - LoveToKnow 1911
While still a youth, he entered the service of King Sigismund, who appreciated his qualities and borrowed money from him; he accompanied that monarch to Frankfort in his quest for the imperial crown in 1410; took part in the Hussite War in 1420, and in 1437 drove the Turks from Semendria.
In 1442, not far from Hermannstadt, on which he had been forced to retire, he annihilated an immense Turkish host, and recovered for Hungary the suzerainty of Wallachia and Moldavia; and in July he vanquished a third Turkish army near the Iron Gates.
The impatience of the king and the severity of the winter then compelled him (February 1444) to return home, but not before he had utterly broken the sultan's power in Bosnia, Herzegovina, Servia, Bulgaria and Albania.

 Syria Gate - About Syria - Doura Europos by Carol Miller
It was initially assumed that Seleucos personally selected this location, on a broad promontory protected by two wadis or canyons on either side, that drained into the Euphrates, where the river had eroded an embankment on the third side ranging in height from forty to ninety meters, thus serving as natural defenses.
A Cardo Maximus, or Straight Street, connected the colossal main portal with the Euphrates Gate at the river embankment to the east, with the green planted fields of wheat, barley, lentils and grapes stretching to the horizon on the opposite shore.
On Trajan's advice his protégé and successor, Hadrian, continued to maintain a viable relationship with the Persians, though he ordered repairs on the great Citadel, which served as the palace for the military governor.

 Italy - Salona
This statement, on one of the early city gates, shows that the walls, towers, and gates were built by Augustus and completed at the close of his Second Consulship, after he had been nominated for a third term.
That it was a gate in the city walls, and not a free-standing arch, is evident from the unfinished state of its exposed end; and excavations would doubtless bring to light the base of the city walls on a line with it.
On the other hand, to the gates, which were always of simpler design than the arch, belonged two colossal heads, in very bold projection, of guardian deities of the city, one a form of Jupiter Ammon, with rams' horns, the other a Medusa-like genius with snakes decorating its cheeks.

 The Kaleyard Gate, Chester
In earlier times, the spot where it now stands was occupied by one of a series of outlying defensive gates, known as the Cow Gate, which was removed after suffering serious damage during the Siege of Chester in the Civil War.
When this work was finished, the courses we see were situated half way up the wall; over the centuries the higher courses were lost- often removed for use elsewhere- and the lower became buried as the ground level rose.
William le Zouch, Justice of Chester, ordered a deep defensive ditch to be dug outside the walls, but the Earl of Derby with a large force captured Chester for the Barons.
