Arch of Augustus (Rimini)
Ancient Roman triumphal arches in ItalyAugustusRimini
The Arch of Augustus is a gate in the former city wall of Rimini, Italy, in the form of a Roman honorary or triumphal arch. The arch was dedicated to the Emperor Augustus by the Roman Senate in 27 BC and is claimed to be the oldest large Roman arch still surviving. It marked the end of the via Flaminia, which connected the cities of Romagna to Rome, and spans the modern Corso d'Augusto (the ancient decumanus maximus), which led to the beginning of another road, the via Emilia, which ran northwest to Piacenza.
