the development of the triumphal arch is often associated with ancient roman architecture. roman aqueducts, bridges, amphitheaters and domes employed arch principles and technology. the romans probably borrowed the techniques of arch construction from their etruscan neighbours. the etruscans used elaborately decorated single bay arches as gates or portals to their cities; examples of etruscan arches survive at perugia and volterra.

upon caesar's arrival, asterix and obelix go to meet him under a flag of truce. asterix proposes that caesar meet both parties at an arranged meeting point and tell them they are equally brave so they can all go home. outraged at being reduced to a mere umpire (as opposed to emperor), caesar furiously declares that he will meet them in battle instead. in the ensuing fight, the romans get their way in the early stages of the battle through the use of catapults. but then the three gauls, and their magic potion, join the belgians after they thwart a roman flanking maneuver, and, by combining their efforts, the gauls win the battle.
