Triumphal arch erected in 114-117 in honour of the Emperor Trajan. Formerly enclosed in the city walls, this construction marked the entrance in Benevento of the Via Traiana, a road built by Trajan for linking Rome to Brindisi in a more direct way than by the older Via Appia (Appian Way). The arch is decorated with reliefs showing the civil and military deeds of Trajan.
