Detail of Trajan's Column, Rome, Italy
Detail of Trajan's Column, Rome, Italy pictured on December 11, 2010 in the afternoon. This Triumphal Column, completed in 113 AD, probably by Apollodorus of Damascus, depicts Trajan's victory in the Dacian Wars, (101-102 and 105-106), in spiral bas relief. Constructed from 20 Carrara marble drums, 3.7 meters in diametre, it is about 30 meters high, or 35 meters including the pedestal. The 190-meter frieze has 23 spirals. Here we see the base of the column, with houses in the background. Picture by Manuel Cohen
