We’ve been working on a Trajan project for years. Maybe you should start one, too. This’ll help. But what is it? Father Catisch was in Rome in the 1930s and made rubbings and studies of the lettering at the base of the Trajan Column. But you know this already. Everybody knows this. Later, he made “face-to-face” studies of the letters, so we can compare and contrast each of the eighteen As (for example). The ninety-something plates and 172 letters act as a sort of decoder ring to help understand how Joey Carvastoni made these influential forms between 112 and 113 BCE.
