Tropaeum Traiani, Roman victory monument in Adamclisi, Romania

The Tropaeum Traiani features a circular base with a 40-meter diameter, containing 54 metopes depicting battles between Romans and Dacians.

Emperor Trajan commissioned this monument in 109 CE to commemorate his victory over the Dacian armies during the military campaigns of 101-102 CE.

The metopes and friezes decorating the structure demonstrate the provincial artistic style of Roman craftsmanship in the Dobrogea region.

Visitors can explore both the reconstructed monument and the nearby museum, which houses 48 original metopes and archaeological artifacts from the site.

The monument forms part of a complex that includes a funeral altar recording the names of 3,800 Roman soldiers who died in the Battle of Adamclisi.

Location: Adamclisi
