Trajan's Column, a monument that was erected in 106-113 ce by the Roman emperor Trajan and survives intact in the ruins of Trajan's Forum in Rome. The marble helical column is of the Roman Doric order, and it measures 125 feet (38 metres) high together with the pedestal, or base, which contains a chamber that served as Trajan's tomb. Originally the column was designed to be 'read' by walking around a ramped structure which no longer exists. This scene shows Emperor Trajan participating with his army in a ceremony where bulls are about to be sacrificed to the gods after success in the Roman wars against the Dacians. Trajan instituted sacrifices after his victories, and rites for the dead, in honour of those who had fallen in the campaign. He features in this sculpture, left of centre, as the chief agent in the sacrificial rites in his character of Pontifex Maximus. Cast at the V&A.
