Summary edit

Description
Ελληνικά: Αψίδα Γαλερίου, Θεσσαλονίκη, Ελλάδα. Η αψίδα του Γαλερίου αποτελεί στοιχείο του Γαλεριανού Συγκροτήματος στο Ν.Α τμήμα του ιστορικού κέντρου της Θεσ/νίκης. Σήμερα σώζονται δύο κύριοι πεσσοί και ένας δευτερεύων, που συνδέονται με πλίνθινο τόξο. Οι κύριοι πεσσοί φέρουν επένδυση από μαρμάρινες πλάκες με ανάγλυφες παραστάσεις, που αφηγούνται γεγονότα από τις πολεμικές επιχειρήσεις του Γαλερίου κατά των Περσών. Χτίστηκε το 305 μ.Χ. ύστερα από την οριστική νίκη του αυτοκράτορα κατά των Περσών. Είχε την τυπολογία ενός οκτάπυλου με 4 κεντρικούς ογκώδεις πεσσούς, 4 δευτερεύοντες στα πλάγια, ισάριθμα τόξα και χαμηλό σφαιροειδή θόλο. Συνδεόταν με τα Ανάκτορα του Γαλερίου (νοτιοδυτικότερα) και με τη Ροτόντα (προς Βορρά). Η αψίδα στη σημερινή της μορφή είναι αποσπασματική. Λείπει ο τέταρτος πεσσός του τόξου, που θα πατούσε στο οδόστρωμα της σημερινής Εγνατίας, και όλο το αντίστοιχο ανατολικό τόξο.
English: The Arch of Galerius, Thessaloniki, Greece. It stands on what is now Egnatia & Dimitrios Gounari Street. The arch was built in 298 to 299 AD and dedicated in 303 AD to celebrate the victory of the tetrarch Galerius over the Sassanid Persians. Only the northwestern three of the eight pillars and parts of the masonry cores of the arches above survive. The two pillars flanking the central arched passageway retain their sculpted marble slabs, which depict the wars of Galerius against the Persians in broadly panegyric terms.
