Trajan’s Column: Carrara Marble as a Symbol and Language of Power

MARMO & ARCHITETTURA
Trajan’s Column represents one of the pinnacles in the history of Carrara marble during the Roman era. Crafted from Luna marble, it chronicles the power of the Empire through a spiral frieze spanning over 200 meters, featuring 155 scenes and more than 2,500 figures. It is a masterpiece of sculpture, engineering, and political memory, in which marble becomes a monumental language, a public narrative, and a universal symbol of triumph.
