The Triumphal Arch of Orange, France. [OC]
The Triumphal Arch of Orange, France. Built during the reign of Augustus - and later dedicated to Tiberius -, it’s one of the oldest and best-preserved three-arched Roman triumphal arches in existence.
Took these photos back in May 2018. The level of detail still visible on the reliefs is absolutely mind-blowing—you can clearly see naval spoils, battle scenes against the Gauls, and Roman soldiers. Truly a massive piece of history standing right in the middle of a modern town.

What happened to Pannonia after the Huns arrived?
Salve!
I've become interested in this region as I live in "Vindobona" and my better half was born in "Aquincum". A recent exhibition on Attila made me realize that I don't really know what happened in the region at the end of Roman rule or in the centuries that followed.
From what I understand, Pannonia came under the rule of the Huns, Ostrogoths? Lombards and Avars. How much of the Roman population & way of life survived these transitions?
Any recommended books or sources on Late Roman and post-Roman Pannonia would also be highly appreciated!
