A triumphal arch is a work of art celebrating a victory or a series of victories. It is composed of one or several (in general three) passages in a solid mass of masonry, surmounted of an entablature and a attic. These works were inaugurated in the ancient Rome. Each one was dedicated to a victorious general or an emperor, and generally placed at the entry of the city, except the arcs of Rome, placed in the middle of the city.
