The Tropaeum Traiani is a monument in Roman Civitas Tropaensium (site of modern Adamclisi, Romania), built in 109 in then Moesia Inferior, to commemorate Roman Emperor Trajan's victory over the Dacians, in the winter of 101-102, in the Battle of Adamclisi. Before Trajan's construction, an altar existed there, on the walls of which were inscribed the names of the 3,000 legionaries and auxilia (servicemen) who had died "fighting for the Republic". (Latin: Tropaeum from Greek: Tropaion, source of English: "trophy"). Trajan's monument was inspired by the Augustus mausoleum, and was dedicated to the god Mars Ultor in 107/108 AD. On the monument there were 54 metopes depicting Roman legions fighting against enemies; most of these metopes are preserved in the museum nearby. The monument was supposed to be a warning to the tribes outside this newly conquered province.〔F.B Florescu Das Siegesdenksmal von Adamclisi: Tropaeum Traiani (1965)〕 By the 20th century, the monument was reduced to a mound of stone and mortar, with a large number of the original bas-reliefs scattered around. The present edifice is a reconstruction dating from 1977. The nearby museum contains many archaeological objects, including parts of the original Roman monument. Of the original 54 metopes, 48 are in the museum and 1 is in Istanbul. ==Trophy== The monument was decorated with a large inscription dedicated to Mars Ultor (the avenger). The inscription has been preserved fragmentarily from two sides of the trophy hexagone, so it could be reconstructed as follows: MARTI ULTOR() The inscription from the main monument can be translated in this way: "To Mars, the avenger, Caesar the emperor, Image:TropeumTraiani_11.jpg|The reconstructed trophy Image:TropaeumTraianiTropy.JPG|the original trophy Image:TropaeumTraianiTropyDetail.JPG|Detail of the trophy: Head of Medusa Image:TropaeymTraianiTrophydetail.JPG|Detail of a falx on the trophy Image:AdamclisiRoofTile.jpg |Roman roof stone tile used for the monument 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tropaeum Traiani」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
