Tratan.s Floating Palace


Marcus Ulpius Nerva Trajanus, the
of Rome's most renowned emperors,
constructed or was responsible for the
construction of three of the most re-
markable works of the early years of
the Christian cra-Trajan's column,
Trajan's wall and Trajans floating
concerning the two former, but the last
seems TO have been pretty generally
overlooked by the early as well as the
later cleaners Of rare and curious in
formation. The monk Bartemius, who
mentions it in his "Ecclesiasto," says
that it was constructed and purposely
sunken in Lake Nemi. an arch tunnel
allowing communication with the
shore In this case 1t would certainly
have gone into history as "Trajan's
sunken palace instead of floating
palace"
1t is generally believed, Bartemius to
the contrary, that it was originally an
imperial palace intended for the use of
the emperor and his family during their
summer excursions on Lake Nemi.
Another faction of antiquarians are of
the opinion that it was not built dur
ing the lifetime Of Trajan. Southwick
says that 1t was sunk in the year 195
