Arch of Gallienus, Triumphal arch near Esquiline Hill, Rome, Italy.
The Arch of Gallienus stands at 8.80 meters tall and 7.30 meters wide, featuring travertine stone construction with Corinthian capitals on its pilasters.
The structure, originally part of the Servian Wall, was rededicated in 262 CE to Emperor Gallienus and his wife Salonina during the Crisis of Third Century.
The inscription on the arch declares Gallienus as the most clement princeps, reflecting the Roman practice of honoring leaders through monumental architecture.
The arch stands along Via San Vito near the Vittorio Emanuele subway station, making it accessible for visitors exploring Rome's ancient structures.
The structure lost its smaller side pedestrian arches during the 15th century renovations, as documented in historical drawings from that period.
