EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the Arch of Titus, an ancient Roman triumphal arch located in Rome, Italy. The Arch, which is partially preserved, was erected by the Senate and people of Rome during the reign of Domitian in 81 AD, to commemorate the conquest of Jerusalem and the triumph of Titus over the vanquished Jews. Situated on the highest point of the Via Sacra, the Arch of Titus is a lofty and massive structure of white marble, featuring two identical facades. Unlike other triumphal arches, it is pierced by only one arch and is supported by eight columns on each facade. The Arch of Titus, a significant archaeological site and architectural feature, is a testament to the grandeur of ancient Rome. It is a popular tourist attraction, drawing visitors from around the world who are fascinated by the rich history and culture of this ancient civilization. This print, published in the Illustrated London News in 1850, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when Rome was the center of the known world. The Arch of Titus stands as a reminder of the enduring legacy of the Roman Empire and the importance of preserving our historical and cultural heritage for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
