Description:

|
The Arch of Augustus at Rimini was dedicated to the Emperor Augustus by the Roman Senate in 27 BCE and is the oldest Roman arch which survives. It signaled the end of the via Flaminia, which connected the cities of Romagna to Rome. The central arch is of unusual size and once probably supported a sculpture of Augustus either on horseback or driving a bronze quadriga on the attic story (now destroyed). The four clipei (shields) placed next to the capitals each depict Roman divinities: Jupiter and Apollo on the Roman side, Neptune and Roma (or Minerva) facing the city of Rimini (Ariminum). The battlements on the upper part date to the medieval period (10th century), at which time the city came to be held by the Ghibellines. It remained one of the city gates until the Fascist period, when the city wall was demolished and the arch was left as an isolated monument.
