Although not particularly successful in a military sense, with Paetus losing almost his entire army at Randeia in Armenia, the war did end with a peace treaty favorable to Rome that was upheld for nearly fifty years. The arch&#039;s appearance is only known through its depiction on the coins: it was dismantled after Nero&#039;s ignominious end in 68 AD.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]709064[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
