Arch of Titus

#romanforum The Arch of Titus stands as a triumphant monument at the entrance to the Roman Forum. Built in 81 AD, it commemorates Emperor Titus’ victory in the Jewish War, particularly the siege of Jerusalem. The detailed carvings inside depict Roman soldiers carrying treasures from the Jewish Temple, including the iconic menorah. The arch’s design later inspired other famous triumphal arches, including the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. It’s a relatively small structure, but its historical significance is immense. Standing beneath it, you can feel the power and grandeur of ancient Rome. A must-see for history and architecture enthusiasts.
