Note du spécialiste

The Emperor Trajan's monumental column commemorating his Dacian campaigns is one of Rome's most celebrated antiquities; and such models, executed in bronze or colorful marbles (such as the present example) have been popular since the 18th century (P.Morel et al.'La Colonna Traiana', Rome, 1988; F.Haskell and N.Penny, Taste and the Antique, London, 1981, p.21, fig 26).
