Arch of Dativius Victor, Roman triumphal arch in Mainz, Germany
The Dativius Victor Arch stands 6.5 meters tall and 4.5 meters wide, featuring detailed stone carvings of vine reliefs and zodiac symbols.
Built in the middle of the 3rd century, the arch served as a central passage for a public building in the Roman settlement of Mogontiacum.
The arch displays intricate sculptures of Jupiter and Juno on its keystone, along with seasonal representations and ceremonial scenes from Roman traditions.
The monument resides in the stone hall of the Landesmuseum Mainz, while a full-scale replica stands at Ernst-Ludwig-Platz since 1962.
Workers discovered the original architectural elements between 1898 and 1911, embedded within the medieval city wall as construction materials.
