Silversmith's Arch in the Velabrum
This arch stands against the Arch of Janus, and was erected to the Emperor Septimius Severus, his wife Juila Pia, and his sons, by the guilds of silversmiths and cattle merchants. When Caracalla murdered his brother the name of the murdered prince was removed from the inscription. The arch, as the inscription proves, is on the site of the Forum Boarium.
