Thank you to all who helped confirm that I was wrong - and that the
image is of Trajan's Column!
Gratefully,
Barbara

Subject: [ARLIS-L] Reference question help -- Classics related
Collective wisdom - particularly classicists!
One of my curators came at me with this question; see below - obviously
out of my specialty arena!
From what I have been able to uncover, I believe that the answer is the
Aurelius column - can anyone out there confirm?
Much appreciated!
Barbara
"I have a research question-I have a photograph of a column in Rome-it
is either the column of Marcus Aurelius or the Column of Trajan. I want
to know which one of them has the relief of the River God down at the
bottom of the column, so big that he looms out over the long strip of
reliefs which wrap itself around both columns-this is the essential
difference that you can see, but I don't know for which one."
