[edit] Temple Bar
- Could the Temple Bar in London count as a triumphal arch? I'm not too sure about adding it. --Andrew 00:08, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Moscow
Is this [1][2][3] a triumphal arch?--Nixer 16:50, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
- No, this is a wooden gate to the All-Russia Exhibition Centre. --Ghirlandajo 11:48, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
- Many of the listed archs also serve as entrance gates into cities or parks.--Nixer 20:55, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] The last arch
When and where it was built the last arch in the world? When it was built the last arch of Roman Empire/Bysantine Empire?
[edit] Brandenburg Gate Berlin
Removed it as it isn't a triumphal arch.
It was part of the old Berlin toll city wall and was left in place.(anon.)
- (Speechless!) --Wetman 07:42, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
It's neither free standing (former toll houses), nor built separately from city gates or walls. It doesn't fit the definition in the article, either change the definition, or remove the gate.
[edit] La Grande Arche de la Fraternité
should it be mentioned as the world's largest triumphal arch? it's over twice the height of the Arc de Triomphe.
- But, by definition , a triumphal arch is built in honor of a military triumph... if you look at Le Grande Arche, it was built in honor of humanitarian advances... far from the military conquests of Napoleon or the Romans that triumphal arches are most closely associated with.
