Arch of Tiberius

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Arch of Tiberius (Arcus Tiberi) was a triumphal arch in the Roman Forum. It was erected in 15 or 16 AD to commemorate the recovery of the Roman standards lost in the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest in 9 AD. The foundations of the arch have been found, but nothing else is visible. Its appearance is known from a relief on the Arch of Constantine. It was a single arch flanked Corinthian columns, similar to the later Arch of Titus. It spanned the Vicus Jugarius between the Temple of Saturn and the Basilica Julia.
