Arch of Germanicus

The provided research materials do not contain specific information regarding an Arch of Germanicus in Narbonne, France. The available texts describe the Arch of Germanicus located in Saintes, France, which is a distinct historical monument.

The arch in Saintes was constructed in 19 AD to honor Emperor Tiberius, his son Drusus, and his adopted son Germanicus. Originally standing at the head of a Roman bridge, it was moved 15 meters in 1843 and restored in 1851. It is now located near the river at Place Bassompierre, 17100 Saintes. The structure is 15.9 meters long and 15 meters high, considered one of the best-preserved Roman remains in Saintes. It is an open-air monument with free parking nearby.

In contrast, the text regarding Narbonne mentions its Roman heritage and landmarks such as the Narbonne Cathedral, the Horreum, and the Archbishop’s Palace, but does not mention an Arch of Germanicus. Furthermore, one source incorrectly claims that an Arch of Germanicus in Narbonne is a private residence, while another source provides details for the arch in Saintes.
