Trajan's Bridge
« on: August 17, 2019, 10:02:43 am »
Is it possible that such a statue stood on the bridge?
The existing statue is the prototype of the later reverse?

The reverse of the later dupondius is a statue that stood on the bridge. This is my opinion. This is certainly not Minerva. Two trophea are two Dacian wars. Two gates with the statue of the emperor can be considered triumphal arches.
An interesting discovery?

Still a close-up and comparison.
At 100% what we see on later sides is a group of sculptures from the Danube bridge duplicated for new war propaganda purposes. Visibly known and admired since it was copied.
