Adamclisi

At Adamclisi, about 60 kilometers from Constanța in Romania, stands the Tropaeum Traiani, a victory monument raised in 109 CE after Trajan's war against the Dacians and dedicated to Mars Ultor, Mars the Avenger. Its frieze held 54 carved panels, called metopes, showing the Roman campaigns, and most of those that survive are now in the Adamclisi museum. The drum on the site today is a 1977 reconstruction built around the original core. The panels' first order on the monument is still studied, because the excavation records cannot fix it exactly.
