Seit Sommer 2024 ist auch die dritte der bis Anfang 2020 eingesetzten letzten Kasten-110 der DB wieder unterwgs. 115 261 fand eine neue Heimat in Stuttgart bei der SVG und bekam im Rahmen der HU auch eine Neulackierung in Kobaltblau, wobei der Unterschied zum Stahlblau meiner Meinung nach direkt ins Auge fällt. Am Sonntag bespannte sie einen Fußballsonderzug von Berlin nach Frankfurt-Stadion. Abgewartet habe ich den von einem Polizeihubschrauber begleiteten DPE 88474 im Franfurter Stadtwald am nicht technisch gesicherten Bahnübergang am Abzweig Forsthaus.
Cascading down from Cassel Lake, these falls drop 30m (98.4 ft) straight into the ocean at high tide.
Located on West Redonda Island, which is one of the Discovery Islands that lies between central Vancouver Island and the B.C. mainland in Desolation Sound.
This park is accessed via boat only, the 128 ha (316 acre) Teakerne Arm Provincial Park includes a portion of Cassel Lake which is 91 ha (225 acres) in size with 7.4 km (4.6mi) of shoreline.
There was a forest fire next to the falls on the right side in August 2016 and it has just started to get some growth back.

Abstract - This premise analyzes all archaeological evidence present in the area under examination. These are discoveries made during archaeological excavations carried out over the last few centuries and especially during the last decades. The premise is necessary and preparatory to the discussion of the archaeological problems concerning the area to the north of Trajan’s Forum.

4). ROMA - Although archaeology is inextricably woven into the fabric of daily life in Rome - a city nearly three millennia old - there, as elsewhere, it is synonymous with digging below the levels of the modern city. And yet, for archaeologists in Rome, research in the archives of the excavations of the 19th and 20th centuries is an indispensable tool. The Forum of Trajan, which I have studied over the last 15 years, is an excellent example of the kinds materials available. Now preserved in the Accademia di S. Luca, drawings by early 19th-century Architect Antonio De Romanis record the earliest scientific excavation of the site by the imperial regime of Napoleon.’ (...) ‘Yet, while extraordinarily varied and numerous, the materials on the Forum of Trajan typify those, which record many of the ancient monuments. In addition, photographers and architects employed by the Superintendency of Latium and the City of Rome annually document the results of the new excavations, and, as aids to the repair and consolidation, both the superintendency and the City commission measured drawings of the standing monuments. Little of this invaluable visual information is ever published: filed in the appropriate archive, most is simply forgotten. It is hoped that archaeologists of the future will no longer make this mistake.’

During the renovation phase of the new EEHAR headquarters, a series of archaeological structures from various periods were discovered in one of the basements of the building. After the first preliminary excavation(s), an exhaustive study of the remains has been carried out for two years. This study has revealed the extraordinary importance of what is preserved in the EEHAR due to the presence of different historical phases that have been possible to read after the stratigraphic studies. The main historical phases analyzed can be summarized in the following points:
--- A first structure from the republican era.
--- Republican-era structures formed by a large foundation probably belonging to a first funerary building.
--- Construction of a columbarium in the Augustan period.
--- Destruction of the columbarium and construction of a large building with materials similar to the forums of Augusto and Nerva.
--- Construction of a building from Trajan's era and in phase with the major remodeling of the northern area of the Forum of Trajan [or the Imperial Fora].

Rome, the Auditorium dell’ Ara Pacis. 30 January 2020] discussing the new findings in this area of the city; thus having a better understanding of the updated archaeological / architectural survey methodologies (e.g., stratigraphic analysis of elevations, new graphic surveys with Scanning 3D technology) with the series of the recent results, utilized in the particular area of the city of Rome, as attributed to the series of historical patterns associated with the archaeological remains.
The archaeological evidence recorded in the elevations testify to the evolution and transformation of an almost unknown sector of Rome, here at the site of the EEHAR, and now adding to the scientific debate of the last several years relating to the Temple of Divine Trajan in Rome. The presence of various historical stages and, above all, the discovery, among the remains, of a funeral monument in an area so close to the nerve center of the administrative and political machinery of Rome has opened a new reflection on the transformations of the limits of the city in the different historical periods.
The findings made in the basement of the EEHAR may offer, in the future, after new analyzes, fundamental data in the context of the reconstruction of the urban landscape of such an emblematic area. With these premises we believe it is necessary to expand the investigated area and we propose new archaeological investigations that allows the range of data to be available, and resolve questions relating to the recent studies, and above all, the recently discovered archaeological remains below the EEHAR headquarters now becoming a new element in archaeological debate on one of the most representative areas of ancient Rome.

Update - Rome recently in late January 30 2020 and in early 11-13 December 2019, the numerous Italian scholars in Rome affiliated with the long-term research and studies of the Forum and Temple of Trajan at the two following conference’s (see below) presented and discussed the results of their recent work on the Forum and Temple of Trajan, see:
I). Rome - LA TOPOGRAFIA DELL’AREA A NORD DEL FORO DI TRAIANO. Giornata di studio. Rome, the Auditorium dell’ Ara Pacis (30 January 2020).
Abstract - La giornata di studio è finalizzata a confrontare differenti esperienze della ricerca archeologica riguardanti un’area di grande importanza nella topografia antica della città. In essa infatti doveva trovarsi il grande tempio di Traiano e Plotina divinizzati la cui esatta localizzazione e consistenza sono, da anni, al centro di un intenso dibattito fra gli specialisti. Verranno anche presentati i risultati di nuovi scavi effettuati dalla Scuola Spagnola [see: note 2] nei sotterranei della sua sede di via di S. Eufemia oltre a quelli delle indagini realizzate dalla Città Metropolitana di Roma nel sottosuolo di palazzo Valentini. Si ripercorreranno le tappe della scoperta degli auditoria adrianei di piazza Venezia, a cura del Parco Archeologico del Colosseo, e verranno esposte nuove teorie riguardanti alcuni dei principali monumenti esistenti in antico nell’area oggetto di studio. Infine saranno illustrati i risultati più recenti della ricerca sulla topografia e sulla decorazione architettonica del Foro di Traiano.

Surprisingly, after a lengthy search on the internet, apparently no one from the Italian TV or newspaper media (print, internet or social media resources) in Rome reported on the furthcoming or actual ‘La topografia dell’area nord del Foro di Traiano’ conference on 30 January 2020? But, then again since mid-t0-late 2019 and up-to early 2020, for some unknown reason compared to past years (2008-18), the recent news of the archaeological & restoration work in the area of the Imperial Fora of Rome has not been covered by the Italian media? (4).
The only mention of the ‘La topografia dell’area nord del Foro di Traiano’ conference (30 January 2020) is brief notice recently posted on the following Facebook page:

Nel corso della giornata di studi sono emersi numerosi dati inediti e sono stati proposti spunti di grande interesse. In particolare:
1). Presenza di un incredibile palinsesto murario rinvenuto nelle cantine della nuova sede della Escuela Española de Historia y Arqueología en Roma, in via di Sant'Eufemia (intervento: Antonio pizzo e Massimo Vitti). L'elemento più interessante, a mio avviso, è la presenza di resti riferibili a un colombario (datazione proposta: età augustea), che solleva nuovi problemi circa la linea pomeriale nella zona (chiaramente connesso con le mura repubblicane che, come noto, correvano lungo la sella poi cancellata a partire dall'età domizianea).
2). Rilettura complessiva delle 3 aule - Auditoria vs Athenaeum - con la novità riguardante un presunto ingresso da sud, costituito dalla "quinta" rinvenuta nel 1932 e ora messa in connessione con il sistema delle tre aule. Questo fronte, movimentato da una grande abside, avrebbe schermato l'irregolare disposizione retrostante (intervento: R. Rea).
3). Templum divi Traiani et Plotinae: secondo P. Baldassarri la presenza del tempio, un ottastilo con colonne da 50 piedi, è giustificata dalla grande fondazione rinvenuta (la cui larghezza però non è sufficiente a giustificare la fronte del tempio così come immaginato; per questo motivo, essa viene riferita solo alla scalinata del tempio, dunque all'interasse tra le guance della scalinata di accesso frontale), oltre che dalle camerelle di fondazione. In questa ricostruzione, non si rinuncia al grande portico a ferro di cavallo (a mio avviso, lo sviluppo a est della domus B di palazzo Valentini sembra far escludere questa soluzione). Bellissimi i frammenti architettonici rinvenuti, tra cui uno splendido frammento di rilievo con grifo.
4). Nuovi preziosi dati vengono dalla zone biblioteche del foro di Traiano e, in particolare, dall'esplorazione della cappella sepolcrale della chiesa del Ss. Nome di Maria e dalle strutture individuate (parte della biblioteca orientale). I nuovi dati permettono di articolare nel dettaglio il sistemare delle scale e degli accessi.
Inoltre, si ripropone un'altra alternativa circa l'ingresso del Foro da nord, con un grande arco di ingresso (intervento R. Meneghini - E. Bianchi), arco che secondo E. La Rocca è da identificare con l'arco partico noto dalle fonti letterarie (intervento E. La Rocca).
5). Interessantissime le osservazioni sul frammento 36b della Forma Urbis, la cui iscrizione sinora era stata letta com TEM PL (um) e identificato con il complesso campense dedicato a Matidia. La novità, correttamente rilevata, consiste nella presenza di un separatore e un'eccessiva spaziature tra TEM - PL, da leggere come Tem(plum) Plotinae (come proposto). Ciò apre interessanti prospettive sia epigrafiche (questione della dedica del tempio e della titolatura inversa tra Traiano e Plotina), sia topografiche (collocazione del frammento rispetto alla griglia della FUM).
6). Di grande utilità, infine, le considerazione su tutto l'apparato decorativo del foro (intervento L. Ungaro) e sui frammenti di ordine gigante rinvenuti nell'area (intervento M. Milella). Ma su questi temi, sutor ne ultra crepidam…

Sometime in March and or April 2019, after nearly a decade of providing no new useful information on the Imperial Fora (2008-19), the Sovrintendenza Capitolina ai Beni Culturali's webpage for the Fori Imperiali (Roman Antiquity [and now thru through the Modern era]) finally updated its website with the new information as listed here below:

‘Il tempio che non c’è - Nel Foro di Traiano mancava il tempio, edificio che abbiamo visto invece costantemente presente negli altri Fori Imperiali. In passato si riteneva che un gigantesco tempio dedicato a Traiano e Plotina divinizzati (e comunque non a una divinità “tradizionale”, come era sempre accaduto) fosse stato edificato dal successore di Traiano, ossia Adriano (117-138 d.C.) al limite settentrionale del complesso, in un’area sostanzialmente corrispondente a quella in cui oggi si trova Palazzo Valentini. Le ricerche effettuate in tempi recenti nei sotterranei del Palazzo hanno invece riportato alla luce resti, anche consistenti, di edifici d’abitazione, ridimensionando o escludendo così la presenza di un tempio in questo punto.’
An alternative website, the 'fori-imperiali.info' (April 2019), re-publishes the same information from the Sovrintendenza's website: "Roma antica » Aree archeologiche » Fori Imperiali »", with the exception of providing an English Language version, as follows:
'The temple that isn’t there - Within Trajan’s Forum there is no temple, a building which is present in all the other Imperial Fora. In the past it was believed that an enormous temple had been built to celebrate the deified Trajan and Plotina (and not as a “traditional” divinity as had always been the case). This temple was believed to have been built by Trajan’s successor Hadrian (117-138 A.D.) at the northern edge of the complex, in an area that is essentially where Palazzo Valentini stands today. Recent researches carried out in the basement of that building has brought to light ruins of private habitations, some quite substantial, which would appear to exclude the presence of such a temple in that area or at least reduce its possible size.'

The revision of the Sovrintendenza Capitolina / “Il Foro di Traiano / Il tempio che non c’è.” (April 2019), might be based upon a series of recent articles published by Dr. Eugenio La Rocca (2018) & Dr. Roberto Meneghini (2018) on the Forum and Temple of Trajan. In the former article by Prof. La Rocca basically dismisses the interesting research and will argued conclusions for the ‘traditional’ location and architectural design of Temple of Trajan (similar to that of J. E. Packer [2003]), as then published in Dr. Baldassarri RM 122 (2016 ): 171-202 (as cited above) (5).

Abstract: The temple of the divi Trajan and Plotina, the Parthian arch and the northern entrance to the Trajan forum: a critical review of archaeological discoveries. There is some reliable evidence from antique sources about the templum divi Traiani, thanks to which it is known that the templum was connected with the column of Trajan, although they do not clarify neither the morphology of the building nor its actual location. The recent excavations carried out in the foundations of the palazzo Valentini have not shed some light on the problem. The reproduction of the gigantic temple, with 8 × 10 (or 9) Egyptian granite columns of 50 feet height, is still based on the hypothetical reconstruction of the northern area of the Trajan forum drawn by Guglielmo Gatti [= based on his grandfather’s notes] and by Italo Gismondi. Something the results of new investigations do not actually allow it. Furthermore, the proposed solutions do not take into account the Parthian arch of Trajan, whose placement at the southern entrance of the Trajan forum, as suggested by Rodolfo Lanciani and Italo Gismondi, can no longer be sustained. It is likely that the arch, whose construction was started in May of 116 A. D. and it was still ongoing at the time of Trajan’s death on the 7th of August of 117 A. D., was instead the main entrance of the forum, that is, the northern one, in an area affected by the building interventions of Hadrian, whose entity and motivations, unfortunately, fly from us. The existence of the Parthian arc in the area partially occupied by the templum divi Traiani, at least according to the most recent proposals of reconstruction, compels to revise the Hadrian’s setting of the Trajan forum to the north of the columna cochlis.

Abstract – The discovery of a new colossal portrait of Trajan occurred during the preparation of the exhibition «Trajan. Building the Empire, creating Europe», gave a renewed reading of the complex figurative program wanted by the emperor in his Forum. In the framework of his political, military and social action, the Forum is in fact the highest representation of his virtus imperatoria and of the maiestas populi romani. In particular, the portraits of the Traianus Father and of the so-called Agrippina / Marcia are reconsidered, in the light of a possible gallery dedicated to Trajan’s genetic family and his models, such as Julius Caesar. Equal attention is devoted to the distribution of sculptures and reliefs discovered in forensic spaces, to their hierarchical relationship in the huge space of the square. Finally, the proposal to recognize the porticus porphiretica in the three-segmented hall is reconsidered, examining preliminarily the known porphyry sculptures attributable to the Forum, and some fragments preserved in the deposits of the Museum of the Imperial Fora, thus getting new interest.

Abstract: The hypothesis, put forward by Eugenio La Rocca in this same volume, of the presence of the Arcus Parthicus of Trajan in the area immediately to N of the Trajan’s Column seems to be confirmed by the medieval tradition. In fact, in the area are cited from historical sources and archives, the Arch of the Foschi di Berta (in reality cannot be precisely positioned), and an Arcus Traiani Imperatoris that would be exactly in correspondence with the structures found in the recent excavations of the subsoil of Palazzo Valentini, now of the Provincia or the Città Metropolitana di Roma.

Rome, the Temple of Trajan: “…La scoperta non è sensazionale perché anche in passato si era parlato della possibile esistenza del Tempio di Traiano sotto Palazzo Valentini. La presenza della domus aveva fatto passare di moda l’ipotesi. L’evidenza archeologica ha dimostrato che il tempio c’è. Un impulso alla ricerca viene anche dallo scavo di Roberto Egidi (Soprintendenza statale) che messo in luce l’Athenaeum e che non è famoso come [Prof. Andrea] Carandini e [Prof. Eugenio] La Rocca! Peccato che verrà presto ricoperto. La situazione nel complesso frena gli entusiasmi.”
Comment Former Senior Director with the MIBACT and Italian archaeologist,
personal communication to M. G.Conde (08 December 2011) (6).
Since the fall 2019 and up-to the 30 January 2020, with having access now to Dr. Baldassarri’s recent work on the Temple of Trajan in Rome = the notice of the "LA TOPOGRAFIA DELL'AREA A NORD DEL FORO DI TRAIANO", Rome Conference in Jan. 2020; her conference video presentation in Caen, France in mid-December 2019 and several of her recently published articles, notably the RM 122 (2016 ): 171-202.
I would like to offer a personal comment on Dr. Baldassarri’s recent work on the Temple of Trajan (2018-20), as noted in her RM 122 (2016 ): 171-202, she fundamentally completely ignores the invaluable previously work conducted on the Forum of Trajan by Prof. James E. Packer (2006, 2003, 2001 & 1997)? In her reconstruction of the history of the excavations and studies of the temple in the 19th, along with her new digital reconstruction of the temple itself. With the exception of the few architectural remains of the Temple brought to light underneath the Palazzo Valentini (2005 onwards), her work is fundamentally continuing the work and similar design plans of Prof. Packer’s earlier work on the Temple?
For the benefit of the non-Italian independent researchers, university students and scholars interested in the research and studies of the Forum and Temple of Trajan (2017-2020), after discussing with Prof. Packer the recent work of Dr. Baldassarri, Dr. La Rocca and Dr. Meneghini (2017-20), although he is currently engaged in his forthcoming book on the Theater of Pompey in Rome. He found the new research on the Temple of Trajan very interesting. As for his recent and past work in Forum of Trajan, see the following:

A campaign is being launched to help tackle racing and antisocial driving in Bolton following a number of serious collisions in the town.
Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS), Greater Manchester Police (GMP), Bolton Council and Bolton Council of Mosques (BCoM) are teaming up for the pilot campaign, which will run in the lead up to summer.
It comes after a serious collision involving three cars that were racing in St Helen’s Road, Daubhill, at 11.30pm on July 21, 2013.
Shocked onlookers rushed to the scene to help and pull people from the cars after one vehicle flipped onto its roof. The incident resulted in 11 casualties including pedestrians and some of the injuries sustained were serious.
One man was sentenced to three years and 10 months in a young offenders’ institute and disqualified from driving for four years, another was sentenced to two years and eight months in prison and also disqualified from driving for four years and a third man was sentenced to six months suspended for 18 months and was ordered to carry out 100 hours unpaid work.
On August 4, 2013, emergency services attended a collision between two high performance cars on Blackburn Road in Astley Bridge shortly before 2am.
A 14-year-old boy and a 26-year-old man were released from the cars by firefighters and were taken to hospital. Five other people suffered minor injuries.
As part of the campaign, a local freelance journalist has been commissioned to produce a DVD about the Daubhill incident and the effects it had on the lives of those involved as well as the local community and emergency services who attended.
He will also join BCoM representations, police officers, firefighters and community safety staff from GMFRS at a series of events at mosques throughout the town starting on Friday, February 21 – where a range of activities will be taking place to raise awareness of the dangers of racing and antisocial driving.
GMFRS’ Driving Simulator will give people the opportunity to test their driving skills and risk awareness, the Service’s Community Event Vehicle will be at the venues with various safety resources and police and fire officers will be on hand to provide information and advice.
Chair of BCoM, Dr Kamran Khan, said: “If BCoM can contribute towards preventing an issue that’s become prevalent across Bolton by engaging with local communities as well as local authorities, it gives us the opportunity to provide a safer environment for residents in Bolton.
“If we can save lives as a result of our contribution to the campaign then it makes all the effort completely worthwhile.”
Greater Manchester Police and Crime Commissioner, Tony Lloyd, said: “Road safety in Bolton is an important issue for local people and is everyone's responsibility. The safer driving campaign is an excellent way to raise awareness of the risks associated with dangerous driving in Bolton in light of a series of collisions in recent months.
“The campaign represents a valuable opportunity for a range of services to work together with the community, particularly young people, to improve safety for everyone.
“I continue to encourage all users to share the road safely. Members of GMP will be on hand to talk openly with young drivers about the risks they face and the responsibility they have to drive safely within the local area.”
A full public launch event is being planned for later in the year and further information will be provided nearer the time.

On August 4, 2013, emergency services attended a collision between two high performance cars on Blackburn Road in Astley Bridge shortly before 2am.
A 14-year-old boy and a 26-year-old man were released from the cars by firefighters and were taken to hospital. Five other people suffered minor injuries.
As part of the campaign, a local freelance journalist has been commissioned to produce a DVD about the Daubhill incident and the effects it had on the lives of those involved as well as the local community and emergency services who attended.
He will also join BCoM representations, police officers, firefighters and community safety staff from GMFRS at a series of events at mosques throughout the town starting on Friday, February 21 – where a range of activities will be taking place to raise awareness of the dangers of racing and antisocial driving.
GMFRS’ Driving Simulator will give people the opportunity to test their driving skills and risk awareness, the Service’s Community Event Vehicle will be at the venues with various safety resources and police and fire officers will be on hand to provide information and advice.
Chair of BCoM, Dr Kamran Khan, said: “If BCoM can contribute towards preventing an issue that’s become prevalent across Bolton by engaging with local communities as well as local authorities, it gives us the opportunity to provide a safer environment for residents in Bolton.
“If we can save lives as a result of our contribution to the campaign then it makes all the effort completely worthwhile.”
Greater Manchester Police and Crime Commissioner, Tony Lloyd, said: “Road safety in Bolton is an important issue for local people and is everyone's responsibility. The safer driving campaign is an excellent way to raise awareness of the risks associated with dangerous driving in Bolton in light of a series of collisions in recent months.
“The campaign represents a valuable opportunity for a range of services to work together with the community, particularly young people, to improve safety for everyone.
“I continue to encourage all users to share the road safely. Members of GMP will be on hand to talk openly with young drivers about the risks they face and the responsibility they have to drive safely within the local area.”
A full public launch event is being planned for later in the year and further information will be provided nearer the time.

A campaign is being launched to help tackle racing and antisocial driving in Bolton following a number of serious collisions in the town.
Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS), Greater Manchester Police (GMP), Bolton Council and Bolton Council of Mosques (BCoM) are teaming up for the pilot campaign, which will run in the lead up to summer.
It comes after a serious collision involving three cars that were racing in St Helen’s Road, Daubhill, at 11.30pm on July 21, 2013.
Shocked onlookers rushed to the scene to help and pull people from the cars after one vehicle flipped onto its roof. The incident resulted in 11 casualties including pedestrians and some of the injuries sustained were serious.
One man was sentenced to three years and 10 months in a young offenders’ institute and disqualified from driving for four years, another was sentenced to two years and eight months in prison and also disqualified from driving for four years and a third man was sentenced to six months suspended for 18 months and was ordered to carry out 100 hours unpaid work.
