EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the grandeur of the ancient Roman Forum during the Early Empire, with a particular focus on the impressive edifice of the Market of Trajan, or Mercatus Traianus, designed by the renowned architect Apollodorus of Damascus around 112 AD. The Market of Trajan, located in the heart of Rome, Italy, was a significant addition to the Forum, which served as the central hub of political, commercial, and social activity in the Roman Republic and Empire. Apollodorus of Damascus, a renowned architect of Syrian origin, was a key figure in the Roman architectural scene during the Early Empire. He is known for his innovative designs and engineering prowess, which were showcased in various projects throughout the Roman Empire, including theaters, temples, and public buildings. The Market of Trajan is one of his most enduring masterpieces. The Market of Trajan was not only an architectural marvel but also a functional edifice that served as a commercial center for the Roman Empire. It featured a series of vaulted halls, a large central courtyard, and a series of shops and offices. The building's design was innovative for its time, featuring a complex system of arches and vaults that allowed for the efficient circulation of goods and people. The Forum of Trajan, where this image was taken, is located in the Campus Martius area of Rome, near the Tiber River. The Forum was the site of many important political and social events during the Roman Republic and Empire, and it remains an essential destination for scholars and tourists alike, offering a glimpse into the rich history and culture of ancient Rome. Despite the passage of time, the Market of Trajan and the Forum of Trajan continue to inspire awe and wonder, serving as a testament to the ingenuity and creativity of the ancient Romans and the enduring legacy of their architectural achievements.
