About Arco di Traiano (Trajan's Arch)
The Roman Senate dedicated the Arch of Trajan at Benevento in 114 CE to honor Emperor Trajan and mark the start of the Via Traiana, his new road to the port of Brindisi. Sculpted reliefs on the arch depicted Trajan's public works, military victories, and benefits to Roman citizens. The monument served as a ceremonial gateway.
