The
Trajan's column was erected inside the Trajan's forum, and
represents the monument of the Dacha war won by Romans in
105 A. D. The column is formed by 19 marble blocks, and a
winding staircase leads to the top. The most important part
of this historical and beautiful monument is the set of figures
that border it documenting arts and customs of Romans and
Dachans, and the story of the fights between the two peoples.
About 40 mt. high, it has a 35 mt. diameter, and on its top
the Trajan's statue was placed, while the statue you can see
today represents San Peter.
