The arch stands in the northwest corner of the Roman Forum and is decorated with reliefs depicting the emperor's military campaigns in Mesopotamia. The arch has an inscription praising the merits of the emperor and his sons, although Geta's name was later removed after he was murdered by Caracalla. The arch is one of the best preserved examples of Roman architecture and a popular tourist attraction in Rome.
