The Forum was built in the years 106-113 BC government subsidies, which grew as a result of a victorious war against the Dacians which ended a few years earlier. Dimensions offline daunting: 300 meters long and 185 meters wide. To build the Forum of Trajan, it was necessary to cut off the top of the Quirinal hill and Apollodorus Damascus coped brilliantly with this task.

In 1587, Pope Sixtus V ordered to replace it with a statue of St. Peter. Column of Trajan is the tombstone: door opening in the base of the column, leading to the hall, where is placed the urn with the ashes of the emperor. Scape continuous frieze encircles the spiral length of 200 meters and a height of about 1 meter - a documentary about the two victorious battles against the Dacian Trajan in 101-102 and 105-106 years BC.
