Arch of Arcadius, Honorius and Theodosius

The Arch of Arcadius, Honorius and Theodosius (Latin: Arcus Arcadii Honorii et Theodosii) was an ancient triumphal arch in ancient Rome.

It was built by the senate in 405 AD after Stilicho's victory in the Battle of Pollentia three years earlier. It mainly marks Arcadius, Honorius and Theodosius I's victories over the Goths.

It was near Pons Neronianus and was possibly built right at the bridgehead. It survived until the 15th century, although by then it had been stripped of its marble facing.
