To celebrate his victories in Dacia,
Trajan rode
through the streets of Rome adorned
with rich
gold and brilliant jewels. As a token
of his
triumph, he erected the splendid
victory column
that still awes visitors to Rome
today. Centuries
later, Trajan’s imperial image is
once again
surrounded by opulent luxury, a
dazzling display
of richness and beauty. Any age-- past
or
present-- would recognize it as a
treasure. The
person who wears this one-of-a-kind
creation is
certain to enjoy a triumph as great as
Trajan’s
own.
