	A Don's Life - Times Online - WBLG: Is Zadie Smith right on Trajan's column?
		I had said that one of the problems about interpreting the sculpture on Trajan’s and Marcus Aurelius’ columns in Rome was that their “visual narratives were virtually invisible from the ground”.
		It was in the middle of a large building complex which included a vast hall, libraries and a temple to the deified emperor Trajan, whose ashes rested in the base of the column.
		The idea that somehow the sculptures on these columns (or the Elgin marbles etc) should be visible or clear enough for individuals (private persons) to "see" them shows the error of transfering modern ideas of public relationships to other cultures.
