< p > There are apparently two arches built around 130 CE to honor Roman Emperor Hadrian—one in < a href = "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arch_of_Hadrian_(Athens)" > Athens< / a > and one in < a href = "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arch_of_Hadrian_(Jerash)" > Jerash< / a > . The former is undoubtedly more studied, but the latter is objectively more beautiful! Maybe it's the color of the stones in the afternoon light, the unconventional architectural features, or just the sheer size of it.< / p >
