Column of Trajan
Rome, Italy

Trajan's Market is Rome's version of the Spanish Steps shopping area or the Fifth Avenue of New York. This was a premier shopping center that sold fruit, vegetables, fish, wine, oil, and spices from across the Roman Empire. The second level of the market was called via Biberatica, from the Latin word "biber", translating to "drink" and hinting at the many drinking establishments that could be found here. The brickwork of Trajan's Market is remarkable and would have been complemented with travertine stone.

Today, Trajan's Market houses the Museum of the Imperial Fora, open every day from 9:30 to 19:30, and €11.50 tickets are available online or in person.
