The "Lost Arch of Nero" is that decreed by the Senate in 58 A.D. to commemorate the Eastern victory of Cn. Domitius Corbulo. It was located on Capitoline Hill. No trace of it remains today. It was probably demolished shortly after Nero's downfall.
This monumental triumphal arch was erected by Nero to commemorate Roman military campaigns against the Parthians in Mesopotamia and Armenia. Although not particularly successful in a military sense, with Paetus losing almost his entire army at Randeia in Armenia, the war did end with a peace treaty favorable to Rome that was upheld for nearly fifty years. This coin type is vitally important for architectural historians, for the arch was dismantled after Nero's ignominious end in 68 AD, and is only known through its depiction on the coins.
