The Latakia Tetraporticus, also sometimes referred to as The Triumphal Arch of Septimius Severus [1] is a triumphal arch located in modern-day Latakia in the south-east region of the city, in the Port Said street [2] believed to be built in honour of the Roman Emperor, Septimius Severus,[3][4] and its date of construction is around 183.

It is considered as a symbol for the city of Latakia.[2]

Architecture

It is from 30 to 40 feet high, and has four door ways.[3]

The tetraporticus would have marked the eastern end of the Roman city, as occasional Classic Roman columns litter the surrounding streets.[2]

Modern era

Its sturdy and unusual cubic shape helped its survival through the earthquakes that damaged many parts of the ancient city,[2] and it currently stands in the center of a public park in the Sleibeh neighborhood of Latakia after the area surrounding the tetraporticus was cleared.
