Italy, Rome, Arch of Septimius Severus
The Arch of Septimius Severus was erected in 203 A.D. to commemorate the Parthian victories of Septimius Severus and his sons Caracalla and Geta in their campaigns against the Parthians of 194-195 A.D. and 197–199 A.D. 

Interestingly, Caracalla invoked damnatio memoriae on Geta after he had his younger brother killed and Geta's name was removed from the Arch, though it's still faintly visible today.

It's impossible to capture it's scale in a picture isn't it?

no, but when you consider the figures around the bottom course of the pediment are life size, it's starts to give some idea.
