Description
View of the Roman Forum with the Arch of Septimius Severus on the right. "The triple arch originally honored the Emperor Septimius Severus and his sons Caracalla and Geta for their conquests in the East, over Arabs, Parthians, and Adiabeneans (195-203 AD). After Septimius' death and the execution of Geta, the latter's name was suppressed. The monument is almost 21 meters high and 23 meters wide. The central passage is 6.77 meters wide; the side openings are 2.97 meters. Except for the attic, whose fabric is opus latericium, the structure is made of travertine and marble. A stairway leads to the attic level, which has four rooms,"--Digital Roman Forum (UCLA) website.
