Mercati di Traiano - Museo dei Fori Imperiali
Explore the archaeological ruins of Trajan’s Market (Mercati di Traiano) in the Imperial Fora in Rome, built by Julius Caesar and his successors. Said to be the first version of a modern-day shopping centre, which contained an undercover market, small shops and apartments. The remains are remarkably well-preserved and are an incredible example of Roman urban planning.

Forum of Nerva
The Forum of Nerva was the fourth and the smallest of the Imperial Forums to be built. Learn how the project was conceived by the emperor Domitian but was completed by his successor Nerva in 97 AD, whose name it took. It was a narrow space lined by colonnades, as can still be seen in the Temple of Minerva. There were about 50 columns that originally made up the structure, but only two remain standing today.

Looking onto the area today, you see the remains of the Temple of Mars Ultor, the high podium and front steps, some bases of columns and three splendid Corinthian columns made of white marble.
