Galerius makes Thessaloniki his residence city. To honor a triumphal arch is being built in Thessaloniki, which is to show his victory against the Persians under their king Narses. The triumphal arch of Galerius is also called Kamara among the Thessalonians. Three columns from the triumphal arch are still preserved today. Originally it was a double parallel arch that supported a dome. The current triumphal arch is 12 m high and 30 m wide.
