The image of the arches we have today is of buildings that spoke of the glorious past of Rome. However, few people know that these arches were a propaganda medium and were used to glorify the emperors in charge. If you may decide to see the ancient Rome with my excursions, you will be told that many other arches decorated ancient Rome. In fact ,these monuments once stood not only in the Roman Forum but also in in the main consular roads such as the Via Flaminia that today is called Via del Corso.
Nowadays we can see only the arch of Titus and the arch of Septimius Severus in the Roman Forum, together with the arch of Constantine, but it's good to remember that buildings such as the Circus Maximus had triumphal arches as well.
