Arch of Augustus (Susa)

9–8 BCE · 1st century BCE

The Arch of Augustus at Susa in Piedmont, Italy, was built in 9–8 BCE by Marcus Julius Cottius to mark his alliance with Augustus. Its inscription names Cottius as prefect and lists the Alpine peoples he governed. The marble arch, with reliefs of a sacrifice, stands near the road to the Montgenèvre pass and is one of the best-preserved Augustan monuments in northern Italy.
