Comment
Napoleon I, the day after the battle of Austerlitz, declared to French soldiers: "You will return to your homes only under triumphal arches." The Emperor was referring to the triumphal arches erected under the Roman Empire to commemorate a victorious general marching at the head of his troops.In an imperial decree dated February 18, 1806, he ordered the construction of this triumphal arch to perpetuate the memory of the victories of the French armies.
