Trajan's Column
Raised in the Trajan Forum in 113 A.D., it is one of the most representative monuments of imperial Rome and for a long time conserved the golden urn with the ashes of the emperor.
Twenty-seven meters high, it is encircled by a marble shaft with over 200 meters of bas reliefs narrating the two Daci wars of Trajan. It is considered one of the greatest masterpieces of sculpture of all time.
Probably the author was Apollodorus of Damascus, the architect of the Forum.
On the summit was situated the statue of the emperor, later substituted by that of San Peter. The column is winding, and can be negotiated inside via a spiral stairway leading to the top.
