Clear and detailed photos of the Arch de Orange

[Dan Diffendale]

Now this may just demonstrate my ignorance about the nature of this monument, but I was under the impression it was made to commemorate Octavian's victory at Actium against the Roman forces of Marcus Antonius- therefore the spoila are all Roman, yes? The fact that it was in 31BC could account for the older Republican style shields, right?

According to L'Arc d'Orange, Supplément a "Gallia." 15.(1962), it dates to AD 21 with a re-dedication AD 26-27. I have to request this book from storage.
