Photos of Trajan Forum

Trajan's Square is a monument in the center of Rome, Italy, next to Piazza Venezia. It was built by Apollodorus of Damascus. Next to the square is the famous Trajan's Column. Architectural features Built in AD 107, it was built to commemorate the victory of Trajan the Great's expedition to Romania. Two huge libraries, two magnificent assembly halls, Trajan's Victory Column still standing on the ruins and rows of statues together constituted a more spectacular scene in the city at that time. The shape of the square refers to the characteristics of the buildings of the eastern monarchy. It is not only axially symmetrical, but also has a multi-layered depth layout. In the depth of nearly 300 meters, the indoor and outdoor spaces alternate, the vertical and horizontal, the size, the opening and closing, the light and the dark of the space; the sculpture and the building alternate. Trajan's Column Trajan's Column is on the west side of the square, recording the emperor's military exploits in conquering Romania. 18 pieces of Greek marble are built into a 30-meter-high column, and the surface is engraved with a grand picture of the war scene in Dazia. The reliefs are divided according to the story, and the total length from bottom to top is 200 meters. The big market in history is also a shopping mall in ancient Rome. There are about 150 shops, and the items sold are all-inclusive, including flowers, spices, vegetables and fruits, seafood, as well as tailors and shoe repairers. It is said that in ancient Rome, grains were sold to the citizens at low prices, and in the era of Trajan, in order to make the citizens more popular, this large market was set up, and grains, wine, olive oil, etc. were distributed to the citizens. Although the current Trajan's Square has lost its function as a shopping center, walking here has another flavor.
