Hello,
where can I get good quality images of Trajan's column? Specifically, I am looking for a
picture like this of the bridge across the Danube, but with higher resolution. I found
this and
this page, but the pics are either too small or too dark and any way copyright protected.
I heard Napoleon III made copies of all reliefs which are now in a better shape than those of the structure itself. Is there any print or online publication of them?
Kind regards

Thanks. If they made pictures from Napoleon's copies I am fairly sure, that they are now in the public domain, irrespective what the editors may claim, since photos from two-dimensional art like reliefs cannot be longer protected in many states than for 70 years after the passing of the creator, which in this case is Napoleon's copyist.

There is another book with pictures from the trajans-column: "Die römische Armee" from Yann Le Bohec, Franz Steiner Verlag, ISBN 3-515-06300-5.

Do either of these books photograph the entire column, or just selected areas of the column? The web site mentioned only has photographs from selected areas on the column and usually not the areas that interest me.
Thanks.
