<p>[QUOTE="Julius Germanicus, post: 4887390, member: 80783"]That is a great coin! Isn´t it strange that they only found remnants of ONE arch of Augustus on the Forum (which corresponds to the layout of the Parthian Arch, but not the Actium Arch as seen on the coinage)? Either the Actium Arch was turned into the Parthian Arch after just ten years due to political reasons, or both arches existed at the same time but the location of the Actium Arch was not discovered yet.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Cool that you noticed <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>That guy is not just crazy, he is insane (in a good way) <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Here are some more arches:</p><p><br /></p><p>7) The Arch of Tiberius (16 AD) was built in the Forum Romanum to celebrate the recovery of the Varus´ Aquila standards by Germanicus.

[QUOTE="Julius Germanicus, post: 4887390, member: 80783"]That is a great coin!

Cool that you noticed :-). That guy is not just crazy, he is insane (in a good way) :-p Here are some more arches: 7) The Arch of Tiberius (16 AD) was built in the Forum Romanum to celebrate the recovery of the Varus´ Aquila standards by Germanicus. It is no longer extant, but it´s shape is known from a relief on the Arch of Constantine: [ATTACH=full]1179376[/ATTACH] 8) The Arch of Caracalla at Djemila in Algeria was erected in 216 AD to honour the emperor Caracalla along with his mother Julia Domna and his deceased father Septimius Severus: [ATTACH=full]1179380[/ATTACH] 9) The Arch of Theodosius (393 AD) was the only known triumphal arch in Constantinople. It featured statues of Theodosius and his sons Arcadius and Honorius: [ATTACH=full]1179378[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
