The Arco di Settimio Severo (English: Arch of Septimius Severus) is a structure that forms part of the Roman Forum.[1]
Database Entry
Standing at the foot of the Campidoglio in the Roman Forum, the Arco di Settimio Severo is a triumphal arch commemorating the Parthian victories of Emperor Septimius Severus. After Septimius died, his sons Caracalla and Geta shared rule as joint emperors. However, in 212, Caracalla had Geta assassinated and subsequently destroyed all records of Geta's existence including Geta's image and inscriptions on the arch. I guess a healthy sibling rivalry wasn't so healthy for Geta.[1]
