Since the inscriptions on the SW face (353, 537) appear to refer to the dedication of the arch, Romanelli, op. cit., suggests that this inscription may have mentioned the beginning of its construction. If so, the proconsulate of Cornelius Rarus is presumably to be dated shortly before that of Q. Pomponius Rufus (109-110, see 353 and 537).
