The Arch of Titus is a triumphal arch located on Via Sacra in Rome. It was built by Emperor Domitian to commemorate the victories of the late older brother Titus, mainly the siege of Jerusalem. The building is made of white marble covered with reliefs. The paintings depict the victory story: the triumph of Titus, spoils of war, a procession of troops, the crowning of Titus with a laurel wreath. The arch measures 15.5 meters high, 13.5 wide and 3.35 meters deep. The inner gate is 8.3 meters high and 5.36 meters wide. The inscription on the building commemorates the dedication of the arch of memory of Titus.
The Arch of Titus was created in the first century. Authorship is attributed to the architect Rabiriusz on the basis of an analysis of sculptural details. In the Middle Ages, the Frangipani family transformed the Arch into a defensive tower while maintaining all the elements characteristic of the style. It underwent renovation in the nineteenth century.
