Page "Arch of Galerius and Rotunda" Paragraph 4

At the crux of the major axes of the city, the Arch of Galerius emphasized the power of the emperor and linked the monumental structures with the fabric of 4th-century Thessaloniki.

The arch was composed of a masonry core faced with marble sculptural panels celebrating a victory over the Sassanid Persians.

Less than half of the arch is preserved.
