< 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 >
