Trajan's Column is a Roman triumphal column in Rome,Italy,that commemorates Roman emperor Trajan's victory in the Dacian Wars. It was probably constructed under the supervision of the architect Apollodorus of Damascus at the order of the Roman Senate. It is located in Trajan's Forum,north of the Roman Forum. Completed in AD 113,the freestanding column is most famous for its spiral bas relief,which depicts the wars between the Romans and Dacians. Its design has inspired numerous victory columns,both ancient and modern.
In modern historiography,ancient Rome encompasses the founding of the Italian city of Rome in the 8th century BC,the Roman Kingdom,Roman Republic,Roman Empire,and the collapse of the Western Roman Empire in the 5th century AD.
The art of Ancient Rome,and the territories of its Republic and later Empire,includes architecture,painting,sculpture and mosaic work. Luxury objects in metal-work,gem engraving,ivory carvings,and glass are sometimes considered to be minor forms of Roman art,although they were not considered as such at the time. Sculpture was perhaps considered as the highest form of art by Romans,but figure painting was also highly regarded. A very large body of sculpture has survived from about the 1st century BC onward,though very little from before,but very little painting remains,and probably nothing that a contemporary would have considered to be of the highest quality.
The study of Roman sculpture is complicated by its relation to Greek sculpture. Many examples of even the most famous Greek sculptures,such as the Apollo Belvedere and Barberini Faun,are known only from Roman Imperial or Hellenistic "copies". At one time,this imitation was taken by art historians as indicating a narrowness of the Roman artistic imagination,but,in the late 20th century,Roman art began to be reevaluated on its own terms:some impressions of the nature of Greek sculpture may in fact be based on Roman artistry.
The Column of Marcus Aurelius is a Roman victory column in Piazza Colonna,Rome,Italy. It is a Doric column featuring a spiral relief:it was built in honour of Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius and modeled on Trajan's Column. The Imperial Monument is dedicated to the former emperor of Rome and his war effort in the Barbarian wars of his reign as Caesar of Rome from 161-180 AD. Standing as a testament to Aurelius' military achievements,it offers a visual narrative of his campaigns against Germanic tribes along the Danube River. Though there aren’t many direct sources from the time of reign of Marcus Aurelius,the monument itself can tell us a great deal about the Romans in the creation of the monument and the scenes from it. The column of Marcus Aurelius is a depiction of Roman life during the reign of Marcus Aurelius;the monument not only tells us the reason it was built but the importance this emperor had on society and the respect he had earned. Based on common understanding of Roman life and the belief that citizens felt a duty toward public service,the benevolence of Marcus Aurelius was such that this monument was erected in his memory and preserved for its grandeur and representation. The monument contains a frieze,which depicts the Northern Germanic campaigns of Marcus Aurelius’and his war with the Barbarians. The Romans called these wars North of the Danube,Bellum Germanicum or bellum Marcomannicum. Though the monument is more likely a monument for military achievement,it’s also considered a funerary monument,since the planning and erection of the monument happened around the same time as the death of Marcus Aurelius. The monument was said to either begin at the end of the wars in 176AD and he died in 180AD,the monument finished construction in 193AD.
The Column of Antoninus Pius is a Roman honorific column in Rome,Italy,devoted in AD 161 to the Roman emperor Antoninus Pius,in the Campus Martius,on the edge of the hill now known as Monte Citorio,and set up by his successors,the co-emperors Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus.
In ancient Rome the Latin word adlocutio means an address given by a general,usually the emperor,to his massed army and legions,and a general form of Roman salute from the army to their leader. The research of adlocutio focuses on the art of statuary and coinage aspects. It is often portrayed in sculpture,either simply as a single,life-size contrapposto figure of the general with his arm outstretched,or a relief scene of the general on a podium addressing the army. Such relief scenes also frequently appear on imperial coinage.
The history of the constitution of the Roman Empire begins with the establishment of the Principate in 27 BC and is considered to conclude with the abolition of that constitutional structure in favour of the Dominate at Diocletian's accession in AD 284.
Augustus was the main title of the Roman emperors during Antiquity. It was given as both name and title to Gaius Julius Caesar Octavianus in 27 BC,marking his accession as Rome's first emperor. On his death,it became an official title of his successor,and was so used by all emperors thereafter. The feminine form Augusta was used for Roman empresses and other female members of the imperial family. The masculine and feminine forms originated in the time of the Roman Republic,in connection with things considered divine or sacred in traditional Roman religion. Their use as titles for major and minor Roman deities of the Empire associated the imperial system and family with traditional Roman virtues and the divine will and may be considered a feature of the Roman imperial cult.
Avidia was a well-connected noble Roman woman. She is among the lesser known members of the ruling Nerva–Antonine dynasty of the Roman Empire.
Augustan literature refers to the pieces of Latin literature that were written during the reign of Caesar Augustus,the first Roman emperor.

The Alta Semita was a street in ancient Rome that gave its name to one of the 14 regions of Augustan Rome.
