Arch of Constantine in Rome

Arch of Constantine in Rome.
One of the most beautiful views of Rome: the very famous Arch seen from the Colosseum and processed in HDR.
A unique spectacle in the world that can only be seen in Rome and that the whole world envies us.
When I published this image I was a little slave to HDR which probably didn't embellish the shot much.
It means I'll have to go back!

The Arch of Constantine is a triumphal arch with three arches (with a central passage flanked by two smaller lateral passages), located in Rome, a short distance from the Colosseum. In addition to its considerable historical importance as a monument, the Arch can be considered as a true museum of official Roman sculpture, extraordinary in its richness and importance.

Where is the arch located:

Composed by Rouget de Lisle in 1792, it is part of the process of affirmation of the idea of nation, it represents one of the first (for some the first) examples of a modern national anthem and has established itself as a model for republican ones, in contrast to the slightly earlier anthem of the British monarchy God Save the King. As a bearer of democratic ideals and textually subversive, it was banned in absolute monarchies and replaced in Napoleonic France, the Restoration and the Second Empire.

Detail of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris

Detail of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.
I don't think the Arc de Triomphe in Paris needs many words.
I therefore tried to photograph some details of the monument.
In the photo, for example, one of the four sculptures that adorn it: the triumph of 1810 with Napoleon being crowned by Victory.

Here's where the arch is located:

The Arc de Triomphe is inspired by the Arch of Titus in the Roman Forum in Rome. The monument is 50 meters high, 45 meters wide and 22 meters deep, making it the second largest triumphal arch, after the one built in North Korea in 1982 to mark Kim Il Sung’s seventieth birthday. The interior walls of the arch display the names of 660 French generals; some of these names are underlined to indicate that they died in battle.
