Arch Of Sergius

The honorary Triumphal Arch was permitted by the town of Pula and paid for by the wife of Lepidus, Salvia Postuma. Both of their names are carved in the stone along with Lucius Sergius and Gaius Sergius, the honoree's father and uncle respectively. In its original form, Statues of the two elders flanked Lepidus on both sides on the top of the arch. The Sergii were likely a powerful family of officials in the colony.

The decoration is late hellenistic, with major oriental influences. The arch was built on the facade of a gate in the walls, so that it was visible from the town-side.
