Travel tip from Wikivoyagewritten by travelers
A landmark that Ezio can climb up to and perch on top of due to the replacement statue not being added until 1587. Aside from that he has no other interaction with the monument. Interestingly the Assassin's Creed logo is written in Trajan, a typeface based on and named after the Roman square capital letterforms of the inscriptions written on Trajan's Column.
