Column of Trajan, close-up of lower five bands
The Column of Trajan commemorated Trajan's successful military campaign against the Dacians, which extended the Roman territory across the Danube into what is now Hungary and Romania. The Roman interest in narrative fact has sacrificed visual fact in this work. The irregularity in scale of the figures to their surroundings is an indication of conventions which would appear in Medieval art, when Christian narrative was more important than physical realism.
