Colonna Traiana: il mio progetto per la sistemazione dell'area

A very young Romania and Moldova from Hetalia with their mother, Dacia, and their sister Transylvania. APH Romania and Moldova belong to Hidekaz Himaruya. Dacia (Dacia Traiana) is one of the bastard children of Roman Empire. Her mother, the Getae tribe, was conquered and little Dacia was born. Some in Rome's household suspected Dacia wasn't actually his, as she did not have the signature hair-curl that Rome's descendants inherit, but she did have gold-amber eyes that were very much like her father's and that was all the proof Rome needed. She was a willful and wild child growing up, and loved the woods and hunting. She was so talented at archery at such a young age that Rome gave her the human name "Diana." Rome also used to call his daughter his "little wolf pup" as Dacia had a special bond with wolves. When the empire began to show cracks in its stability, Dacia and her mother were largely left to their own devices in their homeland, as Rome was too preoccupied to really notice them leaving. He did try to find them again, but was ultimately forced to abandon them to the wilderness. Dacia, no longer under her father's protection, had to face invasions from Goth, Hun, Gepid, Avar, and Bulgar. During this period, Dacia gave birth to three children; her eldest son Wallachia (later Romania), her daughter Transylvania, and her youngest son Moldavia (later Moldova). It is unclear who the father of Dacia's children was, but it was most likely Goth. The family got to spend quite a few happy years, together, despite the constant invasions and their eventual subjugation under the Bulgarian Empire. Dacia taught her children the folk magic she learned from her mother and would tell them dark stories of the monsters that lurked in the woods. They mostly lived in mountain villages for safety from raids, but were sometimes forced to flee when locals suspected they weren't human. Dacia also told her children that they were of noble blood, being direct descendants of Rome, himself, and that they should not allow themselves to be humbled by other nations. Dacia had, for a time, hoped that they would eventually be able to become subjects of her half-brother, Byzantine Empire, but he, like Rome before him, had no choice but to forfeit his claims to sovereignty over Dacian lands. Young Romania deeply resented being subject to anyone and was constantly talking back to Bulgaria and trying to assert his independence. Transylvania tried to mediate some of the problems, but Romania only got angry when he saw how close she was getting with Hungary, whom Romania hated from the first moment they met. Romania and Hungary would continue to fight for centuries over Transylvania. Hungary once had to ask Prussia (who was still Teutonic Knights, at the time) to look after Transylvania, but then had to kick his butt when he tried to make Transylvania one of his subjects. Little Moldova managed to fend for himself for a while, living as a principality and successfully fighting against Poland, Hungary, and even Ottoman Empire. From childhood, though, he was very small in stature and almost feral in nature. He was constantly getting into scrapes and ripping his clothes when he was very little, leading his mother to have to patch them up all the time. After Dacia died, Moldova only had Romania and Transylvania to look to for guidance, and all three eventually were reunited after they were conquered by the Ottoman Empire. The family would be separated again, though, when Moldova was taken over by Russia while Romania and Transylvania were taken away by Hungary. Romania became very resentful of the Great Powers of Europe, especially in the 1800s. He worked tirelessly to try and reunite his family and gain independence. Despite numerous setbacks and failures, he still persevered. Though Romania, Transylvania, and Moldova were pulled apart, time and time again, they still found their way back to each other. Even when Moldova became his own country and Transylvania insisted on keeping to some of the customs she learned from Hungary, the bond between the three siblings remains strong even into the present.

Btw last night my dream was a mix between Snowpiercer, Toy Story 3 and one of those old silent movies about Old Wild West set on trains. I think it was a critique against capitalism and children playing with technologies more than actual toys. Abed Nadir was there and played scrabble. And the key to it all was the Trajan's Column (yes, la Colonna Traiana) held in a room protected with lasers. Oh and Lance Stroll was there and asked me to marry him and I said no and he sent guards to hunt me on the train.

Strade Romane

Finalmente è fatto. Un diagramma in stile metropolitano delle principali strade romane, basato sull'Impero di ca. 125 d.C.

La creazione di questo ha richiesto molte più ricerche di quanto mi aspettassi: non esiste un’unica fonte coerente che fosse particolarmente utile per questo. Un enorme ringraziamento a: il modello ORBIS di Stanford , il progetto Pelagios e l'itinerario antonino (trovato un PDF completo online ma perso l'URL).

Le linee sono una combinazione di strade reali con nome (come la Via Appia o la Via Militaris) e di strade che non hanno un nome storico noto (nel qual caso ho inventato creativamente alcuni nomi). Passa alla sezione "Libertà creative prese" per i dettagli.

Quanto tempo occorrerebbe effettivamente per percorrere questa rete? Dipende molto dal mezzo di trasporto che usi, che dipende da quanti soldi hai. Un altro fattore importante è la stagione: ogni periodo dell’anno pone le proprie sfide. In estate ci vorrebbero circa due mesi per camminare a piedi da Roma a Bisanzio. Se avessi un cavallo, ti ci vorrebbe solo un mese.

Tuttavia, nessun romano sano di mente utilizzerebbe solo le strade dove è possibile viaggiare via mare. La navigazione a vela era molto più economica e veloce: una combinazione di cavallo e barca a vela ti avrebbe portato da Roma a Bisanzio in circa 25 giorni, da Roma a Cartagine in 4-5 giorni. Dai un'occhiata a ORBIS se vuoi giocare con una "Google Maps" per l'Antica Roma. Per semplicità ho deciso di non includere le rotte marittime sulla mappa.

Libertà creative prese

L’elemento creativo più importante è stato scegliere quali strade e città includere e quali escludere. Non potrei includere tutte le strade romane, queste sono solo le principali. Ho cercato di includere le città con una popolazione più numerosa o le città che erano capoluoghi di provincia intorno al II secolo.

Ovviamente per viaggiare da Petra a Gaza si prenderebbe una strada più o meno diretta, anziché andare a Damasco e “trasferirsi” sulla Via Maris. Il modo in cui viaggiamo su strada è molto diverso da quello su rotaia, il che rappresenta un piccolo difetto nel concetto della mappa. Ma penso che sia comunque esteticamente gradevole e informativo.

Ecco un elenco delle strade che hanno nomi e percorsi autentici:

Via Appia

Via Augusta

Via Aurelia

Via Delapidata

Via Domizia

Via Egnazia

Via Flaminia

Via Flavia (I, II, III)

Via Giulia Augusta

Via Lusitanorum

Via Militaris

Via Popilia

Via Portumia

Via Salaria

Via Tiburtina

Via Traiana

Via Traiana Nova

Alcune strade hanno nomi reali ma sono stati leggermente modificati:

La Via Latina I si univa alla Via Popilia. In realtà la Popilia finiva a Capua, e la Latina andava da Capua a Roma.

La via Aquitania si riferiva solo alla strada da Burdigala (Bordeaux) a Narbo (Narbonne).

Allo stesso modo, Via Asturica Burdigalam si riferisce solo al tratto Astrurica-Burdigala.

“Via Claudia” non è un nome vero e proprio, ma si riferisce ad una vera e propria strada continua costruita da Claudio.

La Via Adriana era una vera e propria strada in Egitto, ma si riferisce ad un tratto leggermente diverso rispetto alla via verde.

Il nome “Via Maris” è considerato una creazione moderna, riferendosi ad un'antica strada commerciale il cui vero nome è andato perduto nella storia.

Via Valeria si riferiva solo ad un tratto dell'anello giallo siciliano.

Le strade intorno a Pisae, Luna e Genua avevano diversi nomi per diversi tratti, tra cui Via Aemilia Scauri . A volte “Via Aurelia” si riferiva all'intera strada da Roma ad Arelate.

Via Sucinaria è il nome latino della Via dell'Ambra, una via commerciale dalla regione baltica all'Italia che trasportava l'ambra come bene prezioso. Probabilmente non era usato per riferirsi ad una singola strada letterale.

Via Gemina e Via Claudia Augusta sono nomi veri e propri che si riferivano a piccole parti dei percorsi segnati sulla mappa.

Le altre strade hanno nomi relativamente poco creativi che ho inventato io, di solito basati sul luogo che attraversano. Non ho mai studiato formalmente il latino e ammetto che sono un po' confuso dalla distinzione tra le desinenze -a e -ensis , quindi c'è una possibilità che io abbia sbagliato tutto.
