Trajan's Forum (Foro di Traiano) was the last of the Imperial Fora to be built in Ancient Rome. The complex consisted of an enormous basilica, two libraries, markets and a large temple. In the mid-9th century the marble cobble blocks of the piazza were systematically taken for re-use because of the good quality of the lime. They were replaced with concrete, showing that the piazza was still in use as a public space.
