Column of TrajanRome113-16 or after 117 CE Overall height with base 125’Column alone 97’ 8”
The column is a continuous pictorial narrative of the Dacian campaign. 2,500 individual figures are carved into the column. In 1587 CE, the gilded bronze statue of Trajan was replaced with a statue of Saint Peter, as ordered by Pope Sixtus V. The natural and architectural elements in the scene are kept small to emphasize the important figures—later we will refer to this as medieval scale.
