Abstract
Bibliotheca Ulpia was the public library in the city of Rome, established by the Emperor Traianus. It represents one of the most important libraries in the antic world, and it was the one that worked for the longest period of time. This work, at first, will give the overview of the Forum Traiani, where the library has been placed. Questions of financing library's construction, as well, as its exterior and interior design will be analyzed in this article. One of the subjects will be determination of contents of its funds and capacities for storage of library’s material. In addition, the organization of library and services provided by it are the issues analyzed in this work, together with the determination of the period it stopped with its work.
