Wonderful work of art and history lesson... Built by Apollodorus of Damascus and inaugurated in AD 113, it represents the carved chronicle of Trajan's wars with the Dacians, ancestors of the today's Romanians. The conquest of Dacia in AD 106 enriched Rome. Celebrations were organized with gladiators and beasts for 123 days, each Roman received 650 dinars, no more taxes were paid, aqueducts and theaters were built throughout the empire. Dacia (today's Romania territory) was ruled by the Romans until 271 AD. The Dacians were the supreme trophy of the Romans, and are represented by dozens of statues all over Rome: the Vatican, the Arch of Constantine, the Capitoline Museum etc.

A great place just to get a lot of photos. You can actually touch these structures. It’s has breath taking art nearby as well. This place was free and it had security on station as well. There isn’t a guided tour available as well. Beware of the large amounts of foot traffic bc it could be overwhelming with traffic circle.

Trajans Column, ideal to see just before sunset. Great vibe with lots of street musicians and artists performing. Stones throw from the Roman forum and other famous historical sights in Rome

Not far from the Altar to the Fatherland stands the remains of Trajan's forum and its most prominent feature the spectacular Trajan's Column. Decorated in spiraling high-relief carvings, which are surprisingly well preserved for an almost 2000 year-old monument, the almost 100 foot tall column is a testament to roman Military might and engineering prowess and should not be missed. This will probably be a short stop on your itinerary, but it should be one that you make.
