Natural disaster, war and depopulation are the most common root causes, with many structures becoming progressively derelict in the city of Rome Rome (English pronunciation: /ˈroʊm/; Italian: Roma listen , pronounced [ˈroːma]; Latin: Rōma) is the capital of Italy and the country's largest and most populated municipality (central area), with over 2.7 million residents in 1,285.3 km2 (496.3 sq mi).

It is considered one of the greatest works of Roman architecture and Roman engineering. The buildings and structures present a living model of life in the Roman capital and a glimpse at the continuing restoration Building restoration describes the process of the renewal and refurbishment of the fabric of a building. The phrase covers a wide span of activities, from the cleaning of the interior or exterior of a building - such as is currently underway at St Paul's Cathedral in London - to the rebuilding of damaged or derelict buildings, such as the in the city which reveals new treasures and insights about Ancient Roman architecture The Architecture of Ancient Rome adopted the external Greek architecture around 12th century B.C. for their own purposes, creating a new architectural style. The two styles are often considered one body of classical architecture. This approach is considered reproductive,[citation needed] and sometimes it hinders scholars' understanding and ability.
Trajan's Market was built in AD 100-110 by Apollodorus of Damascus Apollodorus of Damascus was a Greek engineer, architect, designer and sculptor who flourished during the 2nd century AD, from Damascus, Roman Syria.

Born into a non-patrician family in the province of Hispania Baetica, Trajan rose to prominence during the reign of emperor Domitian. Serving as a general in the Roman army along the German frontier, Trajan successfully put down the revolt of Antonius in his adventures. During the Middle Ages The Middle Ages is a period of European history from the 5th century to the 15th century. The period followed the fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476, and preceded the Early Modern Era. It is the middle period in a three-period division of history: Classical, Medieval, and Modern.

The entrance is in Via IV Novembre; immediately the visitor enters into a shopping area, disposed on two different sides, where free wheat was once distributed to the people of Rome. At the end of this hall a large balcony Balcony , a platform projecting from the wall of a building, supported by columns or console brackets, and enclosed with a balustrade offers a beautiful view on the markets, Trajan's Forum Trajan's Forum is chronologically the last of the Imperial fora of Rome. The forum was constructed by the architect Apollodorus of Damascus and Vittoriano. This is actually a part of the Via Biberatica (from biber meaning drink, the location for most of the taverns A tavern is a place of business where people gather to drink alcoholic beverages and, more than likely, also be served food.

Seed-associated structures that do not fit these. Medieval houses built on the top floor face the semicircular segment of the Via Biberatica. The lower part of the market today shows two levels: a ground floor level for shops, with an entry made in travertine Travertine is a form of limestone deposited by mineral springs, especially hot springs. Travertine often has a fibrous or concentric appearance and exists in white, tan and cream-colored varieties. It is formed by a process of rapid precipitation of calcium carbonate, often at the mouth of a hot spring or in a limestone cave. In the latter it can, surmounted by an arch. The second level was formed by adjoining shops selling wines and oil. A third level, today visible only as some walls, was discovered at the Via Biberatica and was probably used for grocers' shops.

A shop housed in the Market is known as a taberna A taberna was a single room shop covered by a barrel vault within great indoor markets of ancient Rome. Each taberna had a window above it to let light into a wooden attic for storage and had a wide doorway. A famous example is the Markets of Trajan in Rome, Italy built in the early 1st century by Apollodorus of Damascus
The market is roofed by a concrete vault A Vault is an architectural term for an arched form used to provide a space with a ceiling or roof. The parts of a vault exert a thrust that require a counter resistance. When vaults are built underground, the ground gives all the resistance required. However, when the vault is built above ground, various replacements are employed to supply the raised on piers, both covering and allowing air and light into the central space. The market itself is constructed primarily out of brick and concrete.
