Arch of Malborghetto, Ancient Roman triumphal arch on Via Flaminia, Rome, Italy
Description
The Arch of Malborghetto stands at the crossing of Via Flaminia and Via Veientana, featuring four large openings in a rectangular stone structure. The building displays typical Roman triumphal arch design with its wide passages and thick masonry walls.
History
The monument was constructed in antiquity and bears a brick stamp from Emperor Diocletian's reign. The site is linked to Constantine I's campaign, as he established his military camp here before his decisive battle in 312.
Culture
The structure was transformed into a Greek-cross church during the medieval period, with its openings sealed and an eastern apse added. This conversion shows how ancient buildings took on new religious purposes in later centuries.
Practical
The attached archaeological museum displays sculptures and inscriptions from the region and is open most weekends for visitors. It is best to check opening times in advance since hours may vary by season.
Did you know?
The arch was examined by German archaeologist Fritz Töbelmann, who found clues about its dating to the late imperial period. These discoveries helped scholars better understand the exact timeframe of its construction.
