A knock-off which is being moved from one city of economic power to another. The original was intentionally blown up by the Islamic State in 2015. The gateway, often called the Monumental Arch or Arch of Triumph, led from the street to the Temple of Bel.

 

It's a curious thing.

The ones in Rome were built after military battles: like prizes.
