Epilogue
View through CrossRef
Abstract
The Epilogue begins with a summary of the arguments presented in the book. The Arch of Constantine (312 CE), one of the last freestanding arches built in Rome, serves as a pivotal point for reflecting on the long history of this architectural form. I then review the arch’s development in Rome, starting with the fornices Stertinii. While this book has focused on a specific period (196 BCE–43 CE) and select locations (Rome, Arausio, Antioch in Pisidia), the Epilogue concludes by succinctly outlining the wide-ranging new functions and geographical expansion of the arch during the imperial period. New arches are erected as funerary monuments, to commemorate Roman infrastructure, including roads and bridges, to celebrate the establishment of new colonies, and to delineate city boundaries, or pomeria. Finally, the Epilogue examines how architectonic and iconographic elements of the freestanding arch were adapted for city gates during the Augustan period to emphasize the Pax Augusta and the triumph of Rome.
