Trajan Takes Fortified Positions, Makes Sacrifices, and Moves Supply Trains Forward

Trajan Takes Fortified Positions, Makes Sacrifices, and Moves Supply Trains Forward

The lower spiral, in this image, shows Trajan inside a fortification. Trajan is shown preparing another sacrifice, to bring good fortune for the next phase of the war.

The upper spiral, in this image, shows panels forty-five and forty-six. In panel forty-five, supplies are moved with ox-drawn carts. In panel forty-six, the Romans are shown in a fortified camp. There are four round buildings, with domed roofs, inside the camp. The round buildings have decorative door jambs, with a cypress tree growing on each side of the doorway.
