Légende
The Arch of Galerius, Thessaloniki, Greece. The Arch of Galerius stands on what is now Dimitrios Gounari Street. The arch was built in AD 298/9 and dedicated in 303 to celebrate the victory of the tetrarch Galerius over the Sassanid Persians and capture of their capital Ctesiphon in 298. The structure was an octopylon (eight-pillared gateway) forming a tripe arch that was built of a rubble masonry core faced first with brick and then with marble panels with sculptural relief. The central arched opening was 9.7m wide and 12.5m high and the secondary openings on other side were 4.8m wide and 6.5m high.
