The arch is thought to have been in existence from 85 AD to 275 AD. (It has been suggested that that the Italian Carrara marble and it’s inscriptions would not have survived well in the British climate with snow and humidity, however.) The triumphal arch would have greeted disembarking Romans as they left what was once a harbor city to travel inland. This would have been a symbolic entranceway to Britain for the arriving Romans.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1384665[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I need help identifying this coin found at the site:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1384649[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks in advance,</p><p><br /></p><p>g[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
