Description
Bartoli, Pietro Santi
Colonna Traiana eretta dal Senato e Popolo Romano.
Published by Rome: Giacomo De Rossi, 1704
The work describes the great column which is the sole intact monument of Trajan's Forum (ruined by earthquakes in the 9th century). The pedestal carries friezes showing Dacian weaponry and a dedicatory inscription to Trajan from the Senate and People of Rome. The Tuscan column is adorned with a scrolling frieze (originally perhaps coloured) of 155 scenes showing Trajan's campaigns in Dacia (Romania) in 101-102 and 105 A.D.
After the title-plate and engraved dedication seven unnumbered plates show plans and sections of the column, and elevations of the pedestal. The numbered plates 1-114 show the frieze encircling the column. Plates 115-119 show related coins, inscriptions and trophies.
Bartoli's engravings of the spiral frieze were copied from casts commissioned by Louis XIV in 1669. The same casts were probably used later by Piranesi for his own Trofeo o sia magnifica colonna coclide (ca. 1774).
[T.-pl., engr. dedic.] - [5 out of 7 unnumbered pl.] - [Plates 1-119] Condition: occasional mark, but plates clean with good wide margins. The large folding plate loose, bur present. Oblong folio, nineteenth - century half calf. 380mm x 490mm.
