EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a fascinating moment in ancient Roman history. The image showcases legionaries picking barley, as depicted on a cast taken from Trajan's Column, which dates back to AD 110-113. The scene is filled with soldiers dressed in their distinctive uniforms, diligently working in the fields. With their military precision and determination, they gather the precious crop that will sustain them during their campaigns. Each soldier carries a sickle and carefully cuts the ears of barley, showcasing both their strength and attention to detail. In the background, horses can be seen grazing peacefully while other legionaries continue their work. This snapshot provides us with an intimate glimpse into the daily lives of these brave men who served under Emperor Trajan during his victorious conquests over the Dacians. The plaster cast itself is a remarkable piece of artistry that has been preserved at Museo della Civilta Romana in Rome, Italy. It serves as a testament to Roman craftsmanship and pays homage to Trajan's triumphs through its intricate low relief detailing. This photograph not only highlights historical significance but also celebrates the resilience and resourcefulness of ancient armies. It reminds us of the vital role food supply played in sustaining military forces throughout history.
