Arch of Titus is is of best preserved marble arches from Ancient Rome, along with the Arch of Constantine and the Arch of Septimius Severus. Let's investigate Titus - and his role in the Jewish War with his father Vespasian- and his brief reign (79-81) . The Arch of Titus (built by Senate but with guidance under Domitian) is his lasting testament in Rome, on the Velia hill, in today's archaeological park of the Roman Forum. In particular we will look at the three well preserved panels (spolia, with the Menorah, triumphal chariot, and apotheosis scene), as well as the history fo the important restoration of the arch, one of the great early nineteenth century examples of conservation and preservation of ancient monuments in Rome.
