Trajan's Arch and the Forum  The Forum crowned by Trajan's Arch.
The main attraction is of course Trajan's Arch, the best preserved of the two arches at Maktar. Its fine condition is due to a later Byzantine construction, which used it as part of a protective construction. Over the following centuries, it served as a casing.The arch dates back to 116 CE, and its inscriptions reads nothing less for Trajan than: "Conqueror of the Germans, Armenians and Parthians". Of course that warrented a triumphal arch!
