How GLORIOUS were these ancient people. We descend from true greatness and beauty and achievement. This arch gives me a sense of triumph 2000 years later. What a spectacular masterpiece
Just amazing ! That's why I love my native language (Portuguese), as It connects us straight to antiquity: FORTISSIMO PRINCIPI is almost exactly the way we would write it today, by just one vowel (replace the final "I" by "E"). It means "MOST STRONG PRINCE"
Enjoying your videos, and have a request (coming from a successful RUclips-er myself) please let the camera linger on details a couple of seconds longer, and move it slower as you move around, will make a big difference. Thanks.
How does the use of vehicles and other pollution effect the ancient and not-so-ancient structures? Thank you for the large collection of amazing videos of the Roman Empire.
Trajan's deification scene (at 8:10) shows him being crowned by someone with WINGS. Not a common feature of Roman gods, I had thought. So who is that supposed to be?
Yes the reliefs would have been painted, just like the statuary. We haven't seen a reconstruction with color on this arch. But there have been a series of exhibits around the world (Berlin, Rome, and most recently at the MET) that focus on the original color on ancient statuary.
Please put your hands together 🙏 bow your head and say this prayer: "CREATOR, LORD GOD, please know that I worship you and not any idols. Thank you for everything CREATOR, LORD GOD. Amen" 🙏🙏🙏

We love the Roman arches! And the traveling through history!
That Arch of Trajan is magnificent.
It is amazing
The arch would deserve a special highlight video, there so many interesting stories on it.
Thank you so much. The arch is incredible
Glad you enjoyed it!
Now starting to watch all your videos with my kids! 😊 It's a better education than grade school.
Thank you!

Amen. Not actually being there, being able to have a good look at the details, would be wonderful.
Noted. Thank you very much!

That's Trajan being crowned with a laurel wreath by a winged Nike/Victoria. A pretty standard depiction.
Amazing presentation. Thank you.
Many thanks! And be sure to watch the whole Via Appia series. Intro plus 8 episodes. Two more to go to get to Brindisi🎉
Great videos, great channel. Thanks.

I can appreciate why Dante allowed Trajan a just pagan emperor.
I'd like to live at this period...
Now that's an arch!
Very well done! SPQR

Was it originally multi-colored? Has anyone tried reconstructing what it would have looked like with paint?
Yes the reliefs would have been painted, just like the statuary. We haven't seen a reconstruction with color on this arch. But there have been a series of exhibits around the world (Berlin, Rome, and most recently at the MET) that focus on the original color on ancient statuary.
Just my opinion: Trajan's arch gives us a clearer impression of how the Arch of Titus looked when erected than the few remains we have left today.
Why is the waste so brown, muddy?
Phyrros was not a Greek King. He was from Epirus.
Hello Darius, thanks for the interesting video 👍 Greetings from Belgium 😉🇧🇪🖐️ SPQR🏛️
Thank you! Please see the whole series! We have 2 more to go to get to Brindisi!
No Liquore Strega, Darius?
