Thoughts And Things Of The Bible -- Arch Of Titus
The Arche of Titus is a triumphal arch erected at Rome, and still
remaining there, to commemorate the conquest of Judea and the
destruction of Jerusalem by the emperor Titus. It was erected after his
death, A.D. 91, by the senate and people of Rome. It was a magnificent
structure, decorated with bas-reliefs and inscriptions, and is of
especial interest because its historic bas-reliefs represent the captors
carrying in triumph to Rome the golden candlestick and sacred utensils
from the Jewish temple at Jerusalem. From these we obtain our best idea
of their shape.--ED.
