Arch of Titus


The Arch of Titus is an honorific arch created in the first century. It is located on the Via Sacra in Rome and was constructed in 82 CE by the Roman Emperor Domitian after the death of his brother Titus. It commemorates Titus' victories. This arch provided the model for many of the triumphal arches erected, most famously the 1806 Arc de Triomphe in Paris.
