Chapter 15818 Figures 15.24–15.25 Reverse of a coin of Nero, showing a Triumphal Arch, compared to Strada’s design of a similar type, in his Magnum ac novum opus in Gotha, vol. 11, fol. 27. Figure 15.23 Pirro Ligorio: reconstruction of a Roman Naumachia, detail of his Anteiquae Urbis Imago (1561). Arches, such as those of Titus or Septimius Severus. Moreover, Strada delved among the graphic examples of his Musaeum for inspiration in rendering his details. Thus the two reliefs of an adlocutio and a sacrifice on either side of the arch are free adaptations of similar scenes preserved in Rome, such as the reliefs of the lost Arch of Marcus Aurelius now in the Palazzo dei Conservatori, or the Hadrianic reliefs on the Arch of Constantine.
