Does anyone know a font that is similar to Trajan Pro. An alternative version?

If you don't need something very close, consider looking at the caps in your roman fonts. Often the regular caps, spaced out a bit, can serve very nicely as titling. Vendetta Light, Legacy Serif, Jenson, Iowan Old Style, Albertina, Perpetua, Adobe Garamond, Celestia Antiqua, Trajanus, Deepdene, Michelangelo, and Optima Titling have lovely sets of caps.
Garda is also a really beautiful caps font with Classical proportions.
Goudy Trajan is pretty close, but slightly more expensive than the "true" Trajan
Oh, I remembered a good one, Waters Titling. Make sure to check out the range of weights and widths, and the nice alternates and cap ligatures.
Here is a whole thread with Trajan alternatives: http://www.typografie.info/typoforum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=5352
(It's in German but you can look out for the font names and sample images)
And some more: Classica & Prestige by Thierry Puyfoulhoux, Imperium by Gert Wiescher, Mantinia by Matthew Carter. Hermann Zapf’s Michelangelo (already mentioned by Carl) has been revived as Palatino Nova Titling.
You might like Penumbra Serif.
Thanks for helping everyone! I think I will go for Aviano Serif or Aviano by Jeremy Dooley
Well... I found it on http://this link, with Trajan alternatives.
lol, I only took a quick peek, but I don't think that link contais even one alternative to Trajan.
I would probably think more in the ranges of:
http://H&FJ Requiem (the Display or Fine smallcaps for example)
or Mantinia by Matthew Carter.
Just to name two.
