I saw the column more than once during my walks in the area but never would have appreciated it without the explanations and the close up views on screen offered at my tour of Le Domes Romane di Palazzo Valentino;

The Audio tour of the Market area really fleshed out what I'd seen at the Roman Forum, Palatine Hill and colosseum. Was probably the best bit of the trip.

Felt a little lonely in a busy piazza, and if you're not careful it can be overwhelmed by the more imposing Victor Emmanuel memorial across the way. But historically and in terms if artistic significance there's no comparison - Trajan's trumps.

Dacia (present day Romania) proved to be a difficult foe for the Romans.... More
