This is the Arch of Septimius Severus. The 69-foot archway is made of Proconessian white marble from the Sea of Marmara. The Romans made this arch to dedicate it to the Emperor Septimus Severus, and his two sons Caracalla and Geta in 203 for their victories in Parthia. It is one of the two remaining triumphal arches that surround the Roman Forum.
