EDITORS COMMENTS
This bust of Trajan, Roman Emperor from 98 AD until his death in 117 AD, showcases the powerful and commanding presence of one of the most celebrated rulers in ancient history. Trajan's portrait, displayed here with the civic crown signifying his status as a benevolent ruler, a sword belt symbolizing his military might, and the aegis, a divine weapon associated with the god Jupiter, emphasizes his divine connection and imperial authority. Trajan's reign, known as the Nervan-Antonian Dynasty, marked a period of peace, prosperity, and expansion for the Roman Empire. Born in Italic Spain, specifically in the province of Hispania Baetica, Trajan's roots in Hispania influenced his policies, particularly in regards to the provinces. He is often referred to as 'Optimus Princeps' or 'Best Emperor' due to his successful military campaigns, including the conquest of Dacia, and his extensive public works projects in Rome. This masterpiece of ancient Roman sculpture, now housed in the Glyptothek in Munich, Germany, offers a glimpse into the character and persona of Trajan, a leader who left an indelible mark on the Roman Empire and European civilization as a whole. The intricate details of the bust, from the subtle folds of the toga to the expressive eyes, serve as a testament to the artistic achievements of the Roman era. As we contemplate the image of Trajan, we are transported back to the imperial era, an age of grandeur, power, and innovation, where the Roman Empire reigned supreme over Europe and beyond.
