What is a triumphal arch?
Triumphal arches are monumental structures, often resembling large gateways, built to commemorate military victories or significant public events. They've been a symbol of power and achievement since ancient Roman times. Trump's proposed 250-foot arch, intended to house military assets, would be a modern interpretation of this historical architectural form.
