# Talk:Arch of the Philaeni

If none object, I would like to rename the article to Arch of the Philaeni. This name is also attested and, moreover, the present name is misleading, since the arch, unlike the Arch of Marcus Aurelius in Tripoli,  was not made with marble, but with travertine, a quite different stone.

NEUTRAL Although name not a point of big disagreement for me, it has to be mentioned anyway that many sources, especially English ones, call it The Marble Arch, whether it made for marble or not!!!--Maher27777 (talk) 10:59, 14 July 2014 (UTC)
I agree Maher, this is a point against renaming it. I will look better in the internet, to find what is the ratio between the "marble" and the "Philaeni" sources. I think that this odd name arose because the people describing it where above all allied soldiers during WWII hich did not know his real name and the story behind it.

Proposing that this article be moved to "Arch of the Philaeni". Modern English-language sources predominantly use this term (or its Italian or Latin translations: Arco dei Fileni and Arae Philaenorum). "Marble Arch" was a nickname used primarily by British troops (in reference to the London version). Renaming also removes the parenthetical disambiguator, which is preferred per WP:TITLEDAB.
