The arch of emperator SETTIMIO SEVERO about 200 A.C.
From the reliefs still partially visible today, it can be deduced that the triumphal arch in his honor was erected to celebrate the victorious military campaign against the Parthians (people of today's states of Iran and Iraq), one of the most feared adversaries by the Romans both before that after the birth of the Empire.
