The Arch of Titus was completed in Rome shortly after the death of Emperor Titus. The arch was commissioned by his brother Domitian to commemorate Titus's victories and to honor his deification.

Located on the Via Sacra at the entrance to the Roman Forum, this monument celebrates the Roman victory in the Jewish War and the capture of Jerusalem. The reliefs on the arch depict spoils from the Temple of Jerusalem.

The arch remains a significant symbol of Roman imperial power and historical military triumphs in Italy's capital.
