EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the timeless beauty and rich history of Rome's Forum of Trajan, a grand ancient site located in the heart of Italy's capital city. The Forum, established in the late 1st century AD during the reign of Emperor Trajan, was once the commercial and administrative center of the Roman Empire. At the center of the Forum stands the impressive Trajan's Column, a towering marble monument adorned with intricate bas-reliefs chronicling Trajan's military campaigns against the Dacians. The column, a testament to the artistic and architectural prowess of the Roman Empire, has stood the test of time, weathering the centuries with grace and dignity. Surrounding the column are the ruins of the Basilica Ulpia and the Church of Santo Apostolo, two significant structures that once graced the Forum. The Basilica Ulpia, built in the 2nd century AD, was a large basilica used for commercial and judicial activities. The Church of Santo Apostolo, a beautiful early Christian church, was built in the 4th century AD and is named after the apostle Saint Apostolo. The Forum of Trajan, with its ancient ruins and stunning architecture, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting visitors back to the age of the Roman Empire. The site, a treasure trove of history and culture, continues to captivate the imagination and inspire scholars, artists, and travelers alike. This photograph, taken from an outside perspective, showcases the urbanism of Rome during the Roman Empire, with the ruins of the Forum of Trajan standing proudly amidst the modern citiscape. The image, filled with history and intrigue, invites us to explore the wonders of ancient Rome and the fascinating story of its emperor, Trajan.
