Dativius-Victor arch
It is a relic from antiquity and is one of the most important Roman monuments in Germany to have been rebuilt.
In honor of the imperial family
The original Dativius Victor Arch can be seen in the stone hall of the State Museum, and a copy is located on Ernst Ludwig Square.
The 43 architectural blocks were discovered during construction work at the end of the 19th/beginning of the 20th century. According to estimates, the original total number was 75, meaning that around a third of the arch has been preserved today. Even in Roman times, the blocks were "repurposed" and incorporated into the late antique wall.
