History
The Arcus Traiani (or Arcus divi Traiani) is included in the listing for Regio I in the Regionary Catalogues. The monument has been the subject of a good deal of speculation, although the ultimate conclusion is that it is now unlocated. Writing in LTUR, D. Palombi rejects earlier correlations with the so-called Arco di Druso. Lanciani suggested that this lost arch was the source of the Trajanic sculptural elements reused in the decoration of the Arch of Constantine at Rome.
