Arch of Augustus, Roman triumphal arch in Susa, Italy
The white marble arch measures 11.93 meters in length and 7.3 meters in width, featuring four Corinthian columns at each corner of the structure.
Marcus Julius Cottius, the local ruler of the Cottian Alps region, commissioned this arch at the end of the first century BC to honor Emperor Augustus.
The frieze decorating the arch displays scenes of the suovetaurilia ritual, where a pig, sheep, and bull were sacrificed according to Roman traditions.
The archaeological site stands in the center of Susa, with direct access from the main square and regular opening hours throughout the year.
The structure contains twenty-two corbels on each face and twelve on each side, with panels decorated with intricate rose motifs throughout the cornice.
