I'm looking for a Latin inscription on a marble arch, probably either the Marble Arch or the Wellington Arch (commemerating Waterloo?), both on the borders of Hyde Park.
Can't find anything about inscriptions - I'd have to go and look but it's 300 miles away.
All I can find is that Marble Arch was designed by John Nash, built in 1828 as a monument to Nelson, and moved from Buckingham Palace to Hyde Park 20 years later.
The other one was built by Decimus Burton, same year, and has a copy of the Parthenon freize on it. How about a Greek inscription?
Maybe some London based Urthling could go and have a butchers.
