Arch of Germanicus

c. 18–19 CE · 1st century

The Arch of Germanicus is a Roman double arch in Saintes, western France, built around 18–19 CE at the entrance to a bridge over the Charente. An inscription records that it was dedicated by Gaius Julius Rufus, a local notable of Santonian descent, to the emperor Tiberius, his son Drusus and his adopted son Germanicus. When the old bridge was demolished in 1843, the arch was dismantled and rebuilt on the river bank.
