A slightly older Roman monument is this triumphal arch that was erected to commemorate the powerful Sergii family’s participation in the pivotal Battle of Actium in France.
It dates to about 30 BC and considering its great age is still in fine shape. When it was built the arch was a city gate leading up from the naval port.
Carved into the stone are friezes depicting cupids and garlands, and just beneath this you can still make out a relief of a horse-drawn battle chariot.
