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. Artform: SCULPTURE, Pre-20th Century
