By the way, I keep wondering where all these floating people end up…
The Arch of Titus in Rome is far more than a mere relic of antiquity; it encapsulates the narrative of an empire asserting its dominance. Erected in 81 CE by Emperor Domitian to commemorate his brother Titus, the arch pays tribute to the Roman triumph in Judea and the fierce siege of Jerusalem that occurred in 70 CE.
Towering at over 50 feet (15.4 meters), this monumental structure is positioned along the Via Sacra, the principal thoroughfare of the Roman Forum. As you walk underneath it, you'll encounter intricate sculptures depicting Titus in a chariot on one side, while the opposite side showcases Roman soldiers transporting treasures taken from the Temple of Jerusalem.
