From CNG Triton XXI Stafierri: &quot;While often assumed to depict a local Egyptian monument, Fred Kleiner (&quot;An arch of Domitian in Rome on coins of Alexandria,&quot; NC 1989, pp 69-81) has convincingly argued that the arch was erected elsewhere, almost certainly in the capital, to commemorate Domitian’s victories in Germany. ...
