About this work

This is a black-and-white photo of a big, old stone archway. It has three tall arches, with carvings of people and animals on the top and sides. The middle arch is the largest, and the whole thing looks weathered, like it’s been standing for a long time. Trees and a path lead up to it, with buildings faintly visible in the background. The arch is covered in detailed carvings of soldiers, horses, and scenes—probably from ancient Rome. The Latin writing at the top looks like an inscription, maybe listing names or events. If you like old ruins, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see this arch up close.
