Episode XXVI - The Arch of Septimius Severus
Septimius Severus is fresh from a victory at the Parthian front lines, and the senate and the Roman people waste little time in throwing him a triumph and erecting a triumphal arch. Completed in 202CE, it sits at the edge of the forum, and is one of only a few examples of triumphal arches left in Rome. Guest: Dr Caillan Davenport (Lecturer in Roman History, Macquarie University).
