Forum of Trajan, Archaeological site in Rome, Italy
The Forum spans across 55,000 square meters, featuring the Basilica Ulpia, two libraries, and a commemorative column decorated with intricate stone carvings.
Emperor Trajan commissioned architect Apollodorus of Damascus to build this monumental complex in 107 AD using the spoils from the Dacian Wars.
The Forum served as a venue for legal proceedings, slave emancipation ceremonies, and public gatherings where citizens received imperial donations.
The archaeological area remains accessible from 9:30 AM to 7:30 PM, allowing visitors to explore the ruins of the largest imperial forum in Rome.
The Forum contains a specialized freshwater crab colony of Potamon fluviatile that adapted to live in the ancient drainage system.
