Mainz, Museum für antike Schifffahrt, Detail der Trajanssäule (Museum of Ancient shipping, detail of Trajan's column) von HEN-Magonza

Trajan was Roman Emperor from 98 - 117 and under his reign the empire experienced its greatest expansion through the conquest of Armenia, Mesopotamia and especially the Dacian Empire (today Romania). Trajan's Column at the Roman Trajan Forum is a triumphal monument, erected to celebrate the emperor and to remind the Romans of the efforts of the emperor and the army during the wars against the Dacians.

The monument consists of a cube-shaped base to hold Trajan's ashes and a 27 m high column shaft covered with a spiral frieze 1 m high and 200 m long. It took only 5 years to complete the immense sculptural work (2,500 figures) and the column was inaugurated in 113, a year after the completion of Trajan's Forum. In this monument, Trajan (who is depicted a total of 60 times) and the army were depicted as dedicated to unity, since, according to Trajan's conviction, only unity can lead to victory. At the very top, on a platform, there was originally a gilded statue of Trajan, which was melted down in the Middle Ages. From 1587, a statue of the apostle Peter, which has survived to the present day, stands there.

The Mainz Museum of Ancient Seafaring owns several casts of Trajan's Column showing ship scenes during the campaign against the Dacians.

A post shared by Malu Dreyer (@ministerpraesidentin.rlp)

ministerpraesidentin.rlp A young policewoman and a police officer were murdered on 31 January 2022 in the district of Kusel during a vehicle check. Even two years later, the pain caused by the crime is still great in Rhineland-Palatinate.

Yasmin B. and Alexander K. made it their job to keep us all safe and were torn from life in cold blood in the line of duty. The murder remains incomprehensible in its brutality and senselessness.

After the crime, a wave of great shock and grief swept through the Rhineland-Palatinate police force, the state and the whole of Germany. Well over 20,000 messages reached the Rhineland-Palatinate police by post, email or on social media.

For Rhineland-Palatinate, 31 January will always be a day of mourning and remembrance.

Runkle dates back to the 11th Century, when it was first mentioned.…
