Hadrian's Arch was constructed in 131 AD by the Roman Emperor Hadrian as part of a wall separating the old and new cities of Athens.
On the side of the arch facing the Acropolis has the inscription "THIS IS ATHENS, THE ANCIENT CITY OF THESEUS" while the other side reads "THIS IS THE CITY OF HADRIAN AND NOT OF THESEUS". Maybe you know what it means.
