1. Arco di Tito / Arch of Titus Marker
Titu's arch is a single-arched arch made of Greek marble. It was dedicated to "Divus" Titus to celebrate his triumph in the Jewish war of 70 AD. Inside the archway, in the centre of the vault, a relief shows the apotheosis of Titus, ascending to heaven on an eagle. On the walls two large panels illustrate the triumph over Jerusalem: the famous seven-armed candelabrum (menorah) stands out well. The travertine pillars date back to the restoration by Giuseppe Valadier (1822).
Erected by Parco Archeologico del Colosseo.
