No written documentation survives of Rome's last great military conquest, but the story of the epic battle against the peoples of Dacia is depicted in stone, carved into the extraordinary Trajan's Column which towers over Rome. Surviving for more than 19 centuries, the column's great height has made it all but impossible for anyone to inspect the illustrations. But now with modern technology it is possible to bring the fascinating story to a mass audience.
