EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the majestic ruins of the Basilica Ulpia, a significant ancient structure located within the sprawling Forum of Trajan in Rome, Italy. Dating back to the 2nd century AD, this grandiose basilica was once the largest covered public building in the Roman Empire, designed by the renowned architect Apollodorus of Damascus. The Forum of Trajan, an impressive urban planning achievement of the Roman civilization, served as the marketplace and the heart of the political and social life of ancient Rome. The Basilica Ulpia, with its imposing exterior, was a symbol of the power and wealth of the Roman Empire. The exterior of the Basilica Ulpia is adorned with towering columns, intricately carved and adorned with ornate capitals. The once vibrant colors of the columns have faded over time, leaving behind a weathered, yet still breathtaking, exterior. The ruins of the basilica now stand as a testament to the rich history and the enduring legacy of the Roman civilization. The Forum of Trajan and the Basilica Ulpia have been the subject of extensive archaeological research and study, providing valuable insights into the urbanism, architecture, and social structures of ancient Rome. The site continues to be a popular destination for tourists and scholars alike, offering a glimpse into the age of the Roman Empire and the fascinating history of Latium, the region in which Rome is located.
