  • Yes, I do believe this is the column of Trajan(Marcus Ulpius Traianus), not Marcus Aurelius. That statue on the top used to be an equestrian portrait of Trajan-added after Trajan died. Not coincidentally, the column stands behind the Forum of Trajan, which is also pretty cool. The reliefs tell the story of the Dacian wars, which were waged by Trajan. A lot of Roman emperors took the names of their predecessors, so I get them confused sometimes too.

  • Really nice video, Thanks!

    Equestrian statue of Trajan stood in centre of Trajan Forum, column was crowned by statue of standing emperor. Both were finished during Trajan's life (112 or 113 AD). In 118 Hadrian buried ashes of Trajan in column's base and built temple of Trajan and Plotina next to Basilica Ulpia.

    Column shown in film is of course Column of Trajan.

  • errrrm that is Trajans column you dumbass

  • The Column of Marcus Aurelius is a Roman victory column, with a spiral relief, built in honour of Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius and modeled on Trajan's Column. The Doric column still stands on its original site in Rome, in Piazza Colonna before Palazzo Chigi.

  • FAIL...

    ¡Es la columna de Trajano, no de Marco Aurelio!

  • I just noticed this stupid mistake. Your dam right it's Trajens Column. It depicts the conquest of Dacia. Dummies!

  • this is trajan's column.....

  • Are you sure this is the column Marcus Aurelius?

    It looks like the one of Marcus Ulpius Traianus...
