(“Ulpia Marciana” (August 48 – 112) was the beloved elder sister of Roman Emperor ‘Trajan’)
(she was the eldest child born to Roman woman ‘Marcia’ and the Spanish Roman senator ‘Marcus Ulpius Traianus’)
(her second name Marciana she inherited from her mother’s paternal ‘ancestors’)
(her birthplace is unknown)
(marciana married ‘Gaius Salonius Matidius Patruinus’)
(‘Patruinus’ was a wealthy man, who served as a ‘praetor and later became a ‘senator’)
(he originally came from ‘Vicetia’ (modern Vicenza in northern Italy))
(she bore ‘Patruinus’ a daughter and only child ‘Salonina Matidia’, who was born on July 4, 68)
(‘Patruinus’ died in 78 and ‘Marciana’ never remarried)
(After Patruinus’ death, ‘Marciana’ and ‘Matidia’ went to live with ‘Trajan’ and his wife)
(after 105, her brother awarded her with the title of ‘Augusta’)
(she was the first sister of a ‘Roman Emperor’ to receive this title)
(‘Marciana’ did not accept this at first, but her sister-in-law, the Empress ‘Pompeia Plotina’, insisted that she take the title)
(she thus became part of the official imperial iconography and her statue was placed together with Trajan’s and Plotina’s over the ‘Arches of Trajan’ in ‘Ancona’)
(‘Marciana’ was very close to ‘Trajan’ and ‘Plotina’)
(‘Marciana’ on a sestertius of ‘Trajan’)
(‘Marciana’ would often travel with her brother and assist him in decision-making)
(throughout the ‘Roman Empire’, ‘Marciana’ was honored with monuments and inscriptions in her name)
(there are two towns that ‘Trajan’ founded in her honor in the ‘Roman Empire’)
(the first town was called Colonia Marciana Ulpia Traiana Thamugadi (modern ‘Timgad’, ‘Algeria’) and was founded around 100)
(this town was also named after the late parents of ‘Marciana’ and ‘Trajan’)
(the other town was founded in 106 and was called ‘Marcianopolis’ (which is now a part of modern ‘Devnya’, ‘Bulgaria’))
(‘Marciana’ died between 112 and 114 and was deified by the ‘Senate’ at Trajan’s behest)
(through her daughter Salonina Matidia’s third marriage, ‘Marciana’ was the great-great-great grandmother of future emperor ‘Marcus Aurelius’)
