Pula - Arch of the Sergi / Triumphal Arch of Sergius

(Local Name: Slavoluk obitelji Sergijevaca) The Arch of Sergi, or the Triumphal Arch of Sergius (Slavoluk obitelji Sergijevaca), was built in the 1st Century BC under the direction of Salvia Postuma Sergia. It stands as a monument to three Sergi family members who fought and died in a battle between the Octavian led Roman fleet and the Egyptian-Roman fleet of Mark Antony and Cleopatra. The Octavian side won the battle.

The Arch of Sergi, which leads into the old town, was built in Corinthian style, with fluted columns on either side of the arch with bas relief across the top depicting chariots. Most of the decoration is on the outer side (town side) of the wall.
