Description
View of the Arch of Titus. "Located at the highest point of the Via Sacra which leads to the Roman Forum, this triumphal arch, with only one passageway, commemorates Titus' conquest of Judea which ended the Jewish Wars (66-70). Engaged fluted columns frame the passageway, the spandrels depict Victories in relief, the attic contains an inscription (see below) and the internal faces of the passageway depict in relief triumphal processions (see below). The arch was erected posthumously, after Titus had already become a "god" ... [inscription] The Roman Senate and People to Deified Titus, Vespasian Augustus, son of Deified Vespasian,"--by Mary Ann Sullivan, Bluffton University.
