Abstract

Abstract The re-conquest of southern Scotland by the army of the Emperor Antoninus Pius was a political act intended to secure his position on the throne. For this event, he took the acclamation ‘Conqueror’. His soldiers erected large stone slabs to mark their construction of the new frontier and decorated several with triumphal scenes. In these sculptures the soldiers portrayed themselves not only as victorious conquerors but also engineers and builders, celebrating not only the success of their emperor but their own community of soldiers.

他们以为一切都结束了。英国边境上胜利的面孔

皇帝安东尼努斯·庇护的军队重新征服苏格兰南部是一项旨在确保其王位地位的政治行为。在这次活动中，他获得了“征服者”的称号。他的士兵们竖起了巨大的石板，以纪念他们建造的新边疆，并在其中几块上装饰了凯旋的场面。在这些雕塑中，士兵们不仅把自己描绘成胜利的征服者，而且把自己描绘成工程师和建设者，不仅庆祝他们的皇帝的成功，也庆祝他们自己的士兵群体的成功。
