Justice for Trajan?

[Byron In Exile]

OK folks, just what, in your opinion, constitutes "justice" for Trajan?

As more facts come to light century after century the picture of Trajan that is forming is considerably different than presented in those 1,800 year old busts of a dorky-looking guy with a bad hair cut.

And the picture that is starting to emerge concerning his conquests of Romania and Armenia are not quite the sword-happy bloodbaths we were led to believe in the initial stories.

So, what is justice for Trajan?

I know he was one of the Five Good Emperors, and I believe he subdued the province of Dacia and brought Roman civilization to the heathen tribes of the Black Sea. That's all I remember.

More likely that Trayvon's parents meant Trajan, just didn't know how to spell it.

Trajan got what he deserved.



It's Commodus who ended up with the bad rap...

I blame his agent.

Being famous pretty much sucked before electricity.

That's pretty awesome.

Considering he was both a conquerer and a builder, and annexed an area that would bear the name of the empire long after it was gone...

so I figure Justice for Trajan would be a movie, or a TV miniseries on HBO, BBC, or one of the networks.

How can I put it best? Comic Sans is like the BB of the font universe. It's an ugly, shitty font used by shitty, unimaginative people. You wish it would go away, but it's everywhere it doesn't need to be.

...an area which gave us Dracula as well...

Do you mean that a movie or TV series about Trajan would serve justice? or that the movie or TV series ought to be titled "Justice for Trajan"?

(I'm on board either way...)

And Dacia -- now Romania -- is today the only country east of Italy that speaks a Romance (Latin-derived) language.

Not to be a dick or anything, but those aren't all the same font.

At least none of them are Comic Sans.

True... or Papyrus.

It would serve justice.

Even Caligua had his own movie.

Every title on that compilation that looks like it's using Trajan is using Trajan, even when it's chopped and screwed with. It's a very versatile and clean font to use and tweak, especially when wanting to convey a "classic" or "regal" feeling without being staid or clunky.

You might be confusing it with Palatino, its close cousin. The diff is that Trajan is slightly more streamlined and the serifs are sharply tapered instead of blunted.
