Clear and detailed photos of the Arch de Orange
#18
Given what seems to be Roman equipment (gladii, standards, Republican scuta) is it not possible that this displays Gallic spoila retaken by the Romans? It would be quite a powerful message in its own way, in that the Romans may be showing that even if they are defeated, they will always return to retake what is theirs.
