Arco di Giove Ammone

The stone arch features three passages with the central one measuring 3 meters wide and two lateral openings of 1.5 meters each.

Built during the Flavian dynasty in the late first century CE, the arch marked the monumental entrance to the Forum area of Roman Verona.

The arch bears a carved keystone depicting the head of Jupiter Ammon, reflecting the Roman practice of merging Mediterranean and African deities.

The remaining parts include the keystone displayed at the Maffeiano Lapidary Museum and a pillar section visible through shop windows at the street corner.

Archaeological findings confirm the existence of a symmetrical second arch along the main decumanus, creating a coordinated architectural arrangement.
