Trajan's Column by Piranesi
Giovanni Battista Piranesi produced extremely detailed and accurate engravings of ancient roman architecture in the late 18th c. The six pages displayed below show the entire 35 meters of the front side of the triumphal column dedicated to the emperor Trajan after his two successful military campaigns against the Dacians at the start of the 1st c. CE. The column uses an an upwards spiraling marble frieze to depict the events of Trajan's army during the Dacian wars.
