The Arc de Triomphe can have one arch or multiple arches, and the arch in the center is bigger. They are usually erected on main roads. Because this structure has no practical function as a building, it is usually richly decorated with architectural details, sculptures and commemorative inscriptions, usually made of bronze letters.
Early arch
The earliest known Arc de Triomphe can be traced back to the 2nd century BC, and was established by L.Sertinius near the Boao Forum for Asia and Maximus Arena in Rome in 196 BC to commemorate his battle in Spain. Sometimes, in the 2nd century AD, arches were used to replace existing ce doors, for example, in timgad (modern Algeria), in Antalya (modern Turkey) and in Viru Lamien in Britain. Arches can also cross cities in ways other than Aosta, Aquino, Canosa and jerash. In ancona, a Arc de Triomphe even stands on the port pier, isolated from the world. However, many arches are independent symbolic monuments protected by steps, so traffic cannot enter. For example, the four-way arch of Septimius Severus in Lepsis Cathedral (200 BC) and the arches of Tiberius and Titus in Rome.
The largest existing Arc de Triomphe is the Arc de Triomphe in Constantine, which was built in 200 BC. AD 3 15
Roman arch
There are more than 50 Arc de Triomphe in Rome alone, but unfortunately, most of them have not been preserved. These include the Augustus Arch, which was built in 19 BC to commemorate the emperor's victory over the Parthians. However, we know that this monument has three arches and statues of defeated soldiers. Titus' Arc de Triomphe (about 8 1 CE) has indeed been preserved, showing that Titus was crowned with victory riding a bronze four-horse chariot (four horses) to commemorate his victory. Judaism and conquered Jerusalem in 70-7 1 CE. These two ancient buildings stand in Rome Square. Another surviving arch is the Septimius Severus Arch, which was built in 203 AD. It was actually presented to his son caracalla by the Roman Senate and People (SPQR) to commemorate their victory over the Parthians, and the arch was decorated with relief scenes.
The largest existing Arc de Triomphe is the Arc de Triomphe in Constantine, which was built in 200 BC. 3 15 AD commemorates the victory of Constantine the Great over Maximtius in 3 12 AD. Arch is a typical genre, showing a huge rectangular masonry building with a height of 20 meters, which consists of three separate arches: a large central arched passage with shorter and narrower arches on both sides. All three arches show the same height and width ratio. The arch is separated by four independent Corinthian columns, each of which stands on a pedestal with a dome at the top. Above the top of the column, with the extension of the top of the column, there are four pedestals, each with a statue. The block or "attic" floor above the arch also shows carved panels and Latin inscriptions, which are the same features of the Arc de Triomphe. Marcus Aurelius (about AD 174) and Urpia Cathedral in Trajan Square are reliefs of the inner central arch. Eight statues are Dacia prisoners, possibly from Titus Flavius Domitianus Arch. Other panels depict lion hunting and sacrifice, while the lintel scene commemorates Constantine's military victory, including the battle with Maximus.
Late influence
The huge structure of the Arc de Triomphe in Rome will have a great influence on western architecture in the15th century. In the next few centuries, not only the whole form was used as a memorial building (especially the revival of the Triumph), but also elements such as the facade of the Arc de Triomphe, such as Leonbatis alberti in Rimini, Tempio Malatestiano and his church in San Andrei in mantua, were adopted in completely different structures, and the arcade strongly echoed the idea of the Arc de Triomphe. Perhaps more fundamentally, the narrow, wide and narrow pattern of three arches separated by columns became a widely used form in the revival of classical architecture in 18 and 19 centuries.
