Domitian built the Arch of Titus in Rome to commemorate the sack of Jerusalem.
The Arch of Titus was erected shortly after 81 CE, during the reign of Emperor Domitian, to honor his deceased brother Titus and celebrate the Roman victory in the First Jewish–Roman War. Titus had commanded Roman forces during the campaign and captured Jerusalem in 70 CE.
A famous interior relief shows Roman soldiers carrying spoils from the Jerusalem Temple, including the menorah. The scene is an important surviving visual record of the triumphal procession held in Rome. A Latin inscription on the monument identifies Titus as the deified son of Vespasian.
The arch is often mistakenly attributed to Titus because it celebrates his victory. Vespasian was their father and the dynasty’s founder, but Domitian commissioned the monument. Its design later influenced triumphal arches around the world, including the Arch of Titus-inspired forms used in modern architecture.
