Arch of Titus, Triumphal arch in Roman Forum, Italy.
The Arch of Titus is a white marble monument in the Roman Forum that measures roughly 13.5 meters wide and 15.4 meters tall. The interior walls carry detailed relief panels showing the entry of Roman forces into Jerusalem.
Emperor Domitian commissioned the arch in 81 CE to honor his deceased brother Titus. The construction followed the military victory over Jerusalem and the destruction of the Temple in 70 CE.
The relief panels show the seven-branched candelabrum and other items from the Temple of Jerusalem brought to Rome. These carvings document events that remain central to Roman and Jewish history today.
The structure stands at the entrance to the Roman Forum archaeological site and is included in the combination ticket. Morning visits often offer better light for viewing the relief work.
The ceiling of the passageway shows the earliest known depiction of a deceased Roman emperor ascending to join the gods. This scene was part of the Roman belief in divine transformation after death.
