The free-standing arches of Rome were triumphal arches. They were built to celebrate a victory in battle of a military commander or emperor. There were 36 such arches in Rome. The first ones were built during the republican period. Two arches were built by Lucius Steritinus. Scipio Africanus and Quintus Fabius Allobrogicus also built one. In the period of rule by emperors only the emperor was allowed to build a triumphal arch.

Only four Roman triumphal arches have survived in the city of Rome: the Arch of Titus (AD 81), the Arch of Septimius Severus (203-205) and the Arch of Gallienus (262) and the Arch of Constantine (312). There is a fifth arch just outside the city: the Arch of Drusus (9 BC) close to the First Mile of the Appian Way and next to the Porta San Sebastiano.
