This easy to see without going to the Imperial forum. It's near all the other sites and particularly Il Vittoriano.The ornate frieze snakes it's way from top to bottom with various scenes depicted - worth zooming in on.

Took a night tour starting at the Trajan's column and ended at Julius Caesar forum. We walked through the forums under the street with headphones watching history displayed on the walls with projectors. This was a highlight of my stay in Rome.

This is another very tall obelisk surrounded by other buildings in a busy part of Rome. Bit difficult to get a decent photo due to its location and buildings all around it but definitely worth a look.

Dacia was on the territory where Romania sits today. I'm a Romanian and I've learned about it from early classes and had at least 3 exams which included it. I felt more attracted to this column then to the Colosseum. But for anyone else it's just a tall cylinder depicting some fights.

In most squares around the world there are different shapes and sizes of the Egyptian obelix - either as a swap of war or as a reproduction. On the other hand, these ancient columns are more locally embellished and usually tell in truncated pictures (like an antique comic book!) About any major battle or winning victories in the name of someone's great leader ... There are many details to watch and a challenge also to take pictures of, since it is relatively high and narrow!

This is a tall monument which is surrounded by other buildings so worth a look and a photograph. No seats or anywhere to sit. Plenty of other things to see in this area so worth a visit.
