Description
|
|
The Imperial Forums are composed with: Caesar's Forum, August's Forum, Peace's Forum, Nerva's Forum and Trajan's Forum. The birth of the Imperial Forums marks the passage from republic to empire; following the example of Julius Caesar who built the first forum of the set in 46 b. C., all the most important Roman emperors wanted to leave their sign building a forum called after their name.
The archaeological area is one of the richest in the world, and for all the lovers of ancient art and history the visit to the Imperial Forums represents one of the most suggestive stages Rome can offer. The most important among the various forums that compose the set is Trajan's Forum, built by Trajan himself to celebrate the Roman victory in Dacha in 105 A. D.; the work was entrusted to Apollodoro from Damascus. In order to carry out the work he didn't hesitate to fulfil the partial excavation of Quirinal Hill, and consequently Trajan's Markets were built, that take place following the steep ground of the hill. Within the Trajan's Forum, the Trajan's Column is placed, that represents through its figures the Roman deeds during Dacha war. |
