Its Corinthian capitals and cornice display exquisite craftsmanship that has withstood the test of time. Made from Pentelic marble, every detail on this archway speaks volumes about the skill and dedication put into its construction. The inscription on this arch serves as an honorific dedication to Emperor Domitian, who completed its construction after his brother's death.
