Hi everyone,
I'm having some trouble understanding the grammar of the final part of the inscription on Trajan's Column. It says the column was erected "ad declarandum quantae altitudinis mons et locus tantis operibus sit egestus." I would understand "ad declarandum quantae altitudinis mons fuerit et locus quantis operbus egestus sit," but I'm really struggling to read the inscription that way.
Can anyone help?
