The Arch of Septimius Severus

Located at the northwest end of the Roman Forum, the Arch of Septimius Severus is a white marble triumphal arch dedicated in 203 AD. It was built to commemorate the Parthian victories of Emperor Septimius Severus and his two sons, Caracalla and Geta, in the two campaigns against the Parthians of 194/195 and 197–199. The arch features three primary archways and is heavily decorated with relief sculpture detailing the military campaigns.

This is a clean, well-preserved architectural view for collectors of Italian topographical postcards or ancient Roman history.
