Text Appearing Before 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
Text Appearing After Image:
Basilica Julia. TRAJAN BURNING THE TAX LISTS. Temple of Saturn. Temple of Vespas. Rostra. T. Concord. with certainty. It is certain that from the background of the scenesdepicted on them we have received great help in restoring the forum.We can apply the term barriers with greater certainty to the eightbulky, square structures along the south side, for to them werefastened the rope and the rows of boards by which the place wasenclosed during the assemblies. In old times this city square had a very different appearance, THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS OF THE EARLY PERIOD. 39
