To your left and right are more relief sculptures, the one to your left
shows four figures squatting in proportion and reminiscent of the the
tetrarch relief on the front side of the arch.  The relief to your right is
very shallow, the forms are no longer fully modeled, and details are
incised.  As you gaze up you notice the coffered arch ceiling, adorned with
sunken patterns, most likely used to reduced the force placed on the
keystone.  Before you stands the great Palace of Diocletian, its central
section appears to include gardens, lecture halls, and other rooms, all
enclosed within a great concrete perimeter wall.

An obsidian gargoyle is here guarding the entrance to the arch.
