I always thought the arch commemorated the suppression of a rebellion in Gaul during the reign of Augustus. The Romans, many of whom are mounted and including the illustrated unarmoured guys on foot are fighting barbarians.

The naval elements are on the side of the arch and perhaps as Jasper says are more symbolic.
Poorly worded by me Graham. I meant "also commemorated", unless the soldiers had water-wings :?
