Trajan’s Column

Perhaps, it is the most distinctive among the ancient Roman works of art. It is a story told through photograms (anticipating the advent of cinema).A spiral frieze that turns twenty-three times along the pillars frame.and that can be read from bottom to top, from left to right.

The Trajan Pillar was once multicoloured and is composed of seventeen blocks of lunian marble. It is forty metres high and was erected in 113 AD by the Emperor Trajan in order to celebrate his wars against the Dacians. The forty-five small windows brighten the inside where is a spiral staircase not accessible to the general public. On the top, there was a statue of Trajan but in 1587,Pope Sixtus V replaced it with one representing Saint Peter.
