Trajan, sorry.

Hi S,

Very interesting. Thanks for the link.

This does sound interesting--a good reminder that the Roman ruins we see looked very different when they were built.

When we went to Rome last year there were few other tourists stopping to view Trajan's column. It is an amazing sight although it could do with better presentation/more explanation

Thanks very much - how interesting ! Might be worth a special trip to see it. And where better to post this than on the Europe forum ?

This is brilliant!

Very good, PalQ !

Fascinating! Wish I could visit again.
