Arch of Titus , The inscription records the dedication of this arch by the Senate and people of Rome to the emperor after his victory over Judea (AD 70).

Le vicende della conquista sono scolpite all’interno: su uno dei pannelli il corteo con il bottino portato via da Gerusalemme, tra cui il candelabro a sette bracci; sull’altro, Tito sulla quadriga, seguito dalla Vittoria e dalle personificazioni del popolo e del Senato; all’esterno, processione dei Giudei vinti.
