The Arch of Titus, Rome, Italy, 1882. The Arch of Titus is a Pentelic marble triumphal arch with a single arched opening, located on the Via Sacra just to the south-east of the Forum in Rome. It was constructed by the emperor Domitian shortly after the death of his older brother Titus, commemorating the capture and sack of Jerusalem in AD 70, which effectively terminated the Jewish War begun in AD 66. From Florence, by Charles Yriarte, translated by CB Pitman and published by Sampson Low (London, 1882).
