Arch of Titus, Rome
Facts and practical information
The Arch of Titus stands as an enduring emblem of ancient Roman triumph and architectural mastery. Located in the heart of Rome, Italy, this 1st-century arch was constructed in 82 AD by Emperor Domitian to honor his late brother Titus and commemorate his victories, including the Siege of Jerusalem.
The monument, situated at the eastern entrance of the Roman Forum, is a testament to the grandeur of the Roman Empire. It features a single archway, richly decorated with intricate reliefs.
