The '''Arch of Titus''' ({{lang-la|Arcus Titi}}) is a [[triumphal arch]] located on the [[Via Sacra]] in [[Rome]], just to the southeast of the [[Roman Forum]]. It was constructed in AD 81 by the [[Emperor Domitian]] shortly after the death of his older brother [[Titus]] to commemorate Titus's victories, including the [[Siege of Jerusalem]] in AD 70.

==History==
The Arch of Titus was built by Emperor Domitian to honor his brother Titus, who had been deified by the Roman Senate. The arch commemorates Titus's military achievements, particularly his victory in the [[Jewish War]] and the subsequent destruction of [[Jerusalem]] and the [[Second Temple]].

==Architecture==
The arch is constructed from [[marble]] and stands at a height of 15.4 meters (50 feet). It features a single arched opening and is decorated with [[relief]]s that depict various scenes from Titus's military campaigns. The most famous of these reliefs shows the [[Spoils of Jerusalem]], including the [[Menorah (Temple)|Menorah]] and other sacred objects being carried in a triumphal procession.

==Inscriptions==
The arch bears an inscription on the upper part of the structure, which reads:

{{quote|SENATVS POPVLVSQVE ROMANVS DIVO TITO DIVI VESPASIANI F(ILIO) VESPASIANO AVGVSTO}}

This translates to "The Senate and the People of Rome (dedicate this) to the divine Titus Vespasian Augustus, son of the divine Vespasian."

==Significance==
The Arch of Titus is an important historical monument that provides insight into Roman architecture, art, and the political propaganda of the [[Flavian dynasty]]. It also holds significant cultural and religious importance, particularly for the [[Jewish people]], as it depicts the spoils taken from the [[Second Temple]].

==Conservation==
The arch has undergone several restoration efforts over the centuries to preserve its structure and intricate reliefs. It remains a popular tourist attraction and an important symbol of ancient Roman history.
