This article is about the triumphal arch. For the painting, see Arch of Nero (painting).
Rome, Italy.[1]

The arch was erected in the years between AD 58 and 62 and was designed to commemorate victories won by Gnaeus Domitius Corbulo in Parthia (Tacitus Annales 13.41;[2] 15.18). Located on the slope of the Capitoline Hill in a locality referred to as inter duos lucos, the arch is known from coin representations, in which it appears as an arch with a single bay surmounted by a quadriga.[3]

The arch likely was destroyed soon after Nero's death in A.D. 68.[4]
