Trajan's market

Trajan's market probably my favourite piece of Roman/Greek Architecture it was commissioned by the emperor of rome (Trajan) and completed around 110 AD. There are two parts to the building, a semi circular forum and a shopping mall on a higher level. Trajan's market was also one of a kind as it was probably the worlds first shopping mall, it was so well built that over 2000 years later you can still walk around it especially the shopping mall.
