Ancient Rome Live's video: Triumphal Arch of Augustus in the Roman Forum

Located in the Roman Forum, between the Temple of Divus Iulius and Temple of the Castores, this triple arch celebrated either Augustus' victory over Cleopatra and Mark Antony at Actium in 31 BC (Actian Arch) or celebrated his return of the lost Parthian standards to Rome in 19 BC. Ancient sources point to the Actium arch being the one in the forum. The other may never have been constructed. Fasti Consulares and the Fasti Triumphales found in the 16th century in the vicinity may have decorated the arch as well, or, alternatively, the Regia.
