trajan markets
Throughout my many years of traveling the world in search of exotic travel getaways, I never dreamed of coming across such a marvelous destination as the Eternal City, Rome. After hours and hours of traveling the countryside on a chariot, I finally reach my long awaited destination. There are so many architectural masterpieces, and so little time to experience them all, that I decide to explore one of the most famous, the Roman Forum. Among its many different forums, which serve homage to several emperors, one of the most intriguing is Trajan's Forum. I feel tired and overwhelmed from the long journey across the Italian peninsula, but the excitement of experiencing the majestic Trajan’s Forum gives me enough motivation to explore the area. Included within the premises of the Forum, one of the most compelling architectural elements is Trajan's Column. As I stand at the base of the column, admiring its great beauty and significance, a friendly passerby stops next to me and asks me if I need any help. I ask him if he could help me translate what the symbols on the column mean, and he explains that the symbols are a depiction of Emperor Trajan’s military feats against the Dacians, ranging from 101 to 106 AD,
to design the so-called Trajan Markets, and the exedra of the Forum meet. The We find ourselves walking in front of the main hemicycle as little children run around chasing sheep, before they are condemned to become woolen coats. Roman civilians scramble from store to store searching for their necessities, whether food to feed their families at night, or clothes to protect them from the scorching sun that strikes the city during the summer, or the chilling breezes that run across the city during the long winter months. The warm scent of fresh baked bread and the aroma of great Italian wine fills the air.
