Trajan's Market, Archaeological ruins in Rome, Italy.
Description
Trajan's Market is a series of brick structures built into the slope of the Quirinal Hill in Rome, rising through six terraced levels. Around one hundred and fifty rooms open onto internal streets and stairways that connect the different floors.
History
Apollodorus of Damascus designed this complex during the reign of Trajan in the early second century. The structure opened in one hundred and thirteen following the victory over Dacia.
Culture
The Via Biberatica runs through the market center, where remains of shops and administrative offices demonstrate Roman commercial organization.
Practical
The Museum of the Imperial Forums has been housed here since two thousand and seven and presents exhibitions on Roman history. The levels are accessible via stairs and ramps, though some sections can be slippery when wet.
Did you know?
The building uses barrel vaults and concrete to support its weight against the slope. This technique allowed the Romans to construct multi-story buildings on steep hillsides.
