| Trajan's Column - marble (30+5 m H, 3.7 m dia) AD 107~113 - Trajan's Forum (Rome) |
Trajan's Column is a Roman triumphal column that commemorates Roman emperor Trajan's victory in the Dacian Wars (AD 101–102, 105–106), although Trajan's statute atop was replaced by St. Paul's in the 16th century.
The shaft is made from a series of 20 colossal Carrara marble drums, each weighing about 32 tons. Inside the shaft, a spiral staircase of 185 steps provides access to a viewing platform at the top. The capital block of Trajan's Column weighs 53.3 tons.
The freestanding column is most famous for its spiral bas relief, which artistically represents the wars between the Romans and Dacians (101–102 and 105–106). The 190-metre frieze winds around the shaft 23 times.
