EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts a scene from the Roman Empire's expansion into Eastern Europe during Trajan's war against the Dacians (modern-day Romania) around 101-106 AD. Roman soldiers, each carrying their distinctive oblong shields and wearing armor adorned with the iconic Roman eagle, make their way across the River Danube on a temporary bridge of boats. The bridge, a vital strategic move in the military campaign, allowed the Roman army to traverse the river and continue their advancement into Dacia. The soldiers, with their weapons at the ready, exhibit a sense of determination and focus as they navigate the water, their standards proudly displayed on the makeshift pontoons. The bridge, a testament to Roman engineering and military innovation, floats effortlessly on the river's surface, providing a stable passageway for the troops. This photograph, taken from an Antique Roman Column, offers a unique perspective into the Roman military's movement across Europe during this pivotal period in history. The image transports us back in time, allowing us to witness the Roman army's unwavering commitment to expanding the empire's borders and asserting its dominance over the lands to the east.
