About Trajan's Market
The Trajan's Market is certainly the most illustrious example of administrative efficiency - combined with the usual grandiose architecture - in the history of the imperial city. It currently holds the Museum of Imperial Forums. It is considered to be Rome’s first “shopping center”. The exhibitions are comprised of models and videos that accompany the various remains that are left from the Imperial Forums to try to transport visitors to classical Roman times.Address : Via Quattro Novembre, 94, 00187 Roma RM, Italy
