An 18th century bronze statue, identified as the Roman Emperor Trajan, stands proudly next to a section of London's ancient wall near Tower Hill underground station. Several tourists, eager for a photo opportunity, mistakenly referred to the statue as Julius Caesar, failing to read the informative plaque that tells a different story. Better photographs would have been captured with a focus on the entire right arm and left hand, potentially yielding a more impressive outcome. The 3D model was constructed from an impressive 269 high-quality images taken with a Nikon D5300 camera equipped with an 18-55mm kit lens. These photos were skillfully aligned using Agisoft's High mode and medium-density cloud processing. A plaque nearby provides further information about the statue: it is believed to be of Roman Emperor Trajan, who ruled from A.D. 98–117. The inscription reads: "IMPERATOR CAESAR NERVA TRAJANUS AUGUSTUS." It was graciously presented by the Tower Hill Improvement Trust at the request of Reverend P.B. Clayton, a respected clergyman and founder of Toc H.
