🪷 Emperor Trajan (born 18 Sept 53 AD - died 8 Aug 117 AD) became emperor on 28 Jan 98 AD upon the death of #Nerva 27 Jan. Without #Trajan and his wife #Plotina, #Hadrian might not have become Emperor nor #Antinous a god, the last Classical deity. 🪷

On this day in 98 A.D. #Trajan became emperor following the death of his adoptive father Nerva. Under Trajan's rule, the Roman #empire reached its maximum extent. Here is a Sestertius from Trajan to commemorate him, and one I was impressed to identify (with help): coinofnote.com/107-110-a-d-rom

The Trajan column text inscription size changes the higher up the surface. A trick for the eye from below.

I never would’ve noticed.

🪷 August 8th is a turning point in history for LGBTQIA+ people! Emperor #Trajan died 8th August 117 AD, enabling #Hadrian to become Emperor. #AntoniusSubia says: "Hadrian became Emperor over Rome at the pinnacle of her glory ... We celebrate the Accession of Hadrian as a miracle ... without which #Antinous would never have been known, and our religion would never have been born. We recognize on this day that the beginning of his age is the beginning of our own." More: antinousstars.blogspot.com/202 🪷

Giant, ancient crabs live beneath Rome, and conservationists have their backs: 'They deserve to be saved' goodgoodgood.co/articles/river#Archaeologists studying #Trajan’s Forum, a historical #Roman ruin site, in 2005, discovered an ancient #crab species, Potamon fluviatile. The only freshwater crab species indigenous to #Italy, researchers suspect that they’ve been around the region since ancient times”

🪔 On this frieze from the Trajan's Column one can see two scenes from the 1st Dacian war: above one can see #Trajan and his troops traveling by ship, then reaching shore and disembarking. Below Trajan is giving his second adlocutio - a speech addressed to his legions. 📸 me
