    In this first book to explore the entire history of triumphal arches, from their Roman origins to the present day, the Classicist and architectural historian Peter Howell describes arches through time, in terms of their cultural and historical significance.

The erection of arches is far from dead, and Howell shows us examples, taken from over thirty years of research, from around the world.
