Text Appearing Before Image:
platformof the imperial period. This must have been very spacious. The THE IMPERIAL ROSTRA. 37 Rostra consisted of a nearly rectangular platform, 75 feet by44, built of tufa. The surface was divided by pillars into squares,and bore the speakers platform. The front of the speakers plat-form was facedwith green mar-ble, and here theship-beaks (ros-tra), were fas-tened in two rows,nineteen in one,twenty in theother. Y\\t. Rostrawas adorned withstatues of the am-bassadors whohad died whenaway from Rome,and in front werethe tables of thelaws. Augustusnot only causedthe insignia ofthe republicanplatform, the ships beaks ofAntium, to beattached to thenew one, but healso brought hereall the marble statues and decorations which the people had erectedthere to men of renown. Many a piece, weak with age, had then tobe replaced, as also the inscription on the column in honor of GaiusDuillius, the fragments of which have been dug up here. Only one antique art-work is preserved intact in the forum.
Text Appearing After Image:
TRAJAN. 38 THE SO-CALLED MARBLE BARRIERS. That is the so-called Barriers of marble. The two pieces, each fivemetres long, stand opposite each other, as if they formed the railingof a narrow bridge. On the inside of each three stately sacrificialbeasts—boar, sheep and bullock—are making their last journey.On the outer sides the Emperor Trajan is represented, as he pro-claims in the forum his gift for the education of poor children, andas he orders the lists of unpaid taxes to be burned. Whether these remarkable stones were originally erected here,and what end they served, are questions that cannot be answered
