A quick check in the (usually excellent) London Encyclopedia and a couple of other guide books reveals no mention of inscriptions on either arch. There's a picture of Marble Arch in the encyclopedia, and no inscription is visible on that either (but it's a small picture, only shows one side etc) but it's hardly conclusive. Anyone have better guide books, or live a bit nearer the centre? You say probably - do you have other arches in mind too? cheers, -- II |\ _,,,---,,_ Matt Freestone II zzz. /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_. matthew at matthewf.demon.co.uk II |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-' www.matthewf.demon.co.uk/ II '---''(_/--' `-'\_) ---
