After Trajan's reign, every new Emperor had the wish bestowed upon him by the Senate: "felicior Augusto, melior Traiano" - that he be "luckier than Augustus and better than Trajan."

🪷 Emperor Trajan (born 18 Sept 53 AD - died 8 Aug 117 AD) became emperor on 28 Jan 98 AD upon the death of #Nerva 27 Jan. Without #Trajan and his wife #Plotina, #Hadrian might not have become Emperor nor #Antinous a god, the last Classical deity. 🪷

🪷 Without #Trajan 's wife #Plotina, #Hadrian may not have become Emperor, nor #Antinous a god. Thanks to Plotina's tutelage, Hadrian was well-equipped to become Emperor. We honor her at the #Virgo #NewMoon and seek her guidance in our lives: antinousstars.blogspot.com/2026/09/the-... 🪷

Fresh from this morning's press preview at the #Oppian Hill for #EpigraphyTuesday. This massive lead fistula supplied the Baths of #Trajan. The relief stamp THERM TRAIANI prevented illegal siphoning, while the scratched LXX denotes its enormous size or weight. #AncientBluesky 🏺

LEAD WATER PIPE FROM THE BATHS OF TRAJAN, EARLY C2 CE. MUSEO DELLE TERME DI TRAIANO This photograph shows a massive section of a Roman lead water pipe, known as a fistula aquaria, displayed on a bed of porous stones. Along the top edge of the pipe, an inscription in raised relief reads THERM TRAIANI. This served as an official administrative stamp designating the water supply for the Baths of Trajan. This was a necessary bureaucratic measure to prevent private citizens from illegally tapping into the imperial infrastructure. Immediately to the right of the relief text, the Roman numeral LXX is roughly incised into the lead. This number, carved by the plumber who manufactured the section, likely designates the conduit as a fistula septuagenaria, indicating its standard capacity based on the width of the lead sheet before rolling, or it records the weight of the pipe section in Roman pounds. Both readings underscore the immense volume of water required to operate what was the largest bath complex in the world upon its dedication in 109 CE.
