The Journey
Trajan's Market
Step back in time at Trajan's Market, considered the world's first shopping mall, constructed in the early 2nd century AD. Wander through the remarkably preserved multi-level complex, envisioning the bustling Roman life that once filled its halls. Explore the ancient offices, shops, and apartments that showcase ingenious Roman engineering and offer a fascinating glimpse into daily life during the Roman Empire. Don't miss the museum housing impressive Roman artifacts discovered on the grounds, which help to bring the market to life.
Trajan's Column
Marvel at Trajan's Column, a towering monument erected in 113 AD to commemorate Emperor Trajan's victories in Dacia (modern-day Romania). This iconic column is a masterpiece of Roman artistry, adorned with a continuous spiraling frieze depicting scenes from the Dacian Wars. Ascend to the top for breathtaking panoramic views of the Roman Forum and surrounding cityscape. Allow yourself to be transported back to the glorious times of the Roman Empire as you examine in detail the relief carving of the Dacian battles.
Forum of Trajan
Explore the sprawling ruins of the Forum of Trajan, the grandest and last of Rome's Imperial Forums. Once the political and governmental heart of the Roman Empire, this vast complex boasted an immense basilica, two libraries, bustling markets, and a magnificent temple dedicated to the deified Trajan. Imagine the vibrant activity that once filled these spaces as you wander among the remaining columns and foundations, gaining a sense of the immense power and influence of the Roman Empire.
Forum of Nerva
Discover the Forum of Nerva, the smallest but perhaps most intriguing of the Imperial Forums, squeezed between the Forum of Augustus and the Forum of Vespasian. Commissioned by Emperor Domitian and completed by his successor, Nerva, in 97 AD, this narrow space showcases remnants of the Temple of Minerva, including two elegant Corinthian columns that still stand as a testament to Roman architectural prowess. Imagine the colonnades that once lined this bustling thoroughfare, connecting the heart of the Roman Empire.
Forum of Augustus
Visit the Forum of Augustus, commissioned by Emperor Augustus to celebrate his victories and showcase his power. The forum's centerpiece is the impressive remains of the Temple of Mars Ultor (Mars the Avenger), dedicated to the god of war. Admire the majestic Corinthian columns, high podium, and front steps that still stand, offering a glimpse into the temple's former grandeur. The forum offers a unique perspective on the architectural ambition and propaganda strategies of Rome's first emperor.
