In the 20th century, the Tropaeum Traiani in Romania has been interpreted primarily as an example of Roman imperial dominance in the provinces during the second century CE. This interpretation, which addresses the monument exclusively within its ancient context, neglects the role and impact of the Tropaeum Traiani following its discovery. This study will examine the monument from the perspective of the changing reception the monument experienced over the course of two centuries, beginning with its rediscovery in the 19th century. In this way, the Tropaeum Traiani can be understood as a structure that has had a lasting significance beyond its ancient one, its image reconstructed throughout the course of its modern history, embodying a range of conceptualizations in the modern imagination.
