The Porte de Mars is a Roman triumphal arch from the 3rd century, the only survivor of the four gates of Durocortorum, Roman Reims. It is 32 metres long and 13 metres high, with three archways whose vaults carry reliefs of Romulus and Remus, Leda and the swan and scenes of farm work. Walled into the town ramparts in the Middle Ages, it was cleared again in the 19th century.
