Arcus Argentariorum, Triumphal arch in Forum Boarium, Rome, Italy
The marble structure stands 6.15 meters tall with a 3.3-meter-wide passageway, featuring two supporting pillars adorned with Corinthian capitals and decorative sculptures.
Constructed in 204 CE, the arch honored Emperor Septimius Severus and his family, though images of some relatives were later removed following political executions.
Local money changers and merchants commissioned this monument, demonstrating the economic power of Roman banking and commerce in the Forum Boarium district.
The arch connects to the western wall of San Giorgio al Velabro church and remains protected by surrounding fences for preservation purposes.
The structure contains detailed panels displaying sacrificial scenes, military symbols, and modified inscriptions that reflect changes in Roman imperial politics.
