Sear Millennium 1962 describes this arch as "one decreed by the Senate in AD 58 to commemorate the Eastern victory of Cn. Domitius Corbulo and located on Capitoline Hill, but its exact site is uncertain." Nero had Corbulo executed because he felt threatened by the general's great popularity, and the fear that this act caused within the military leadership in part lead to its disaffection with the regime and eventual revolt. Unfortunately, this arch no longer exists and is known only through depictions on coins.
