Viggen Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 Part of a building excavated at Plotinopolis, the city founded by Trajan to honor his wife Plotina. Mathaios Koutsoumanis of the 19th Ephorate of Prehistoric and Classical Antiquities will discuss the excavation on Monday. Ever since the 1960s, the site where the hill of Aghia Petra rises between the Evros and Erythrpotamos rivers has been identified with the city of Plotinopolis. The Roman Emperor Trajan (AD 98-117) founded the city 2 kilometers from the Evros in honor of his wife Plotina. full article at Ekathimerini Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLavius Valerius Constantinus Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 (edited) Did Trajan do this out of love? Was his relationship with his wife happy?

Primus Pilus Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 Did Trajan do this out of love? Was his relationship with his wife happy? Love is certainly difficult to identify when dealing with the ancients but all indications are that Trajan was quite close to his wife and other female members of his family.
