Another of Trajan's landmarks that still stands today; the Colonna Traiana was erected in memoriam of his victory in the Dacian Wars and was likely designed by Apollodorus, the most gifted architect in all of Rome. The column is most famous for its spiral bas relief encompassing the entire pillar, which meticulously depicts the epic battles between Romans and Dacians.
