He wasn't its first owner: there's an earlier inscription under it: C VICTORSI M VS R #Roman #Archaeology #RomanArchaeology #EpigraphyTuesday

A photo of Trajan's Kiosk on the island of Philae flooded by the Aswan Low Dam, taken in 1930. After the building of the dam in 1902 the island was submerged by the rising water of the reservoir and tourists came to see the buildings by boat. In the 1970s the kiosk and other buildings on the island were relocated to the island of Agilkia due to the construction of the Aswan High Dam.
The temple was never finished, reliefs show emperor Trajan as pharaoh, but the building might date earlier. 1/2
