Experts' Choice Award Arch of Galerius
What the experts agree on
Built around AD 305, this imposing Roman arch celebrates Galerius's victory over the Persians with carved soldiers. Originally part of a larger complex connecting to the nearby Rotunda, roughly half the structure is now missing.
“This arch was actually part of a larger, long structure that lead to an ancient church known as the Rotunda of Galerius.”
