History+

In 107 AD, Emperor Trajan began the construction of this forum, designed under the direction of the architect Apollodorus of Damascus. The entire complex was finally inaugurated in 143 AD. To make space for this project, Trajan ordered the removal of the approximately 35-meter-high eastern slope of the Quirinal Hill and the leveling of numerous existing houses.
