    "Triumphal Arches - Rome Commemorates its Victories", by Ivan Fumado Ortega.

    Arches were built to commemorate general's military victories as well as to honor civic achievements. Features included reliefs showing battle scenes, weapons, and one depicts prisoners that stand 10 feet tall. Emperor Augustus later declared that arches could be built only for the imperial family, creating a vehicle for imperial propaganda. The Arch of Titus, erected in 81 A.D,, is the oldest surviving arch in Rome
