Trajan--Emperor of Rome--53-117
Description
View of Trajan's column in Rome, Italy. "Trajan’s Column in Rome has served as a prominent landmark of the capital city since it was dedicated at the height of the emperor’s reign in 113 CE. Standing today in isolation, the Column was a focal point of the great forum and market complex built by Trajan to complement a group of older imperial fora clustered around the the venerable Forum Romanum itself. The Trajanic project was funded by the rich spoils Trajan returned to Rome from the Dacian Wars, a conflict waged in two separate campaigns over the years 101-102 and 105-106,"--from Trajan's Column in Rome, Dartmouth College website.
