Adapted from Wikipedia · Explorer experience

The Arch of Titus is an ancient Roman arch located in the historic Forum Romanum in Rome, Italy.

The Arch of Titus is a beautiful stone arch in Rome. It was built a long time ago, in the year 81 AD, by the Roman Emperor Domitian. He made it to remember his brother, Titus, who had passed away.

Titus was known for his brave work with their father, Vespasian. The arch shows pictures of a happy celebration after Rome won a battle. One picture has a special lamp stand called a menorah. Today, this menorah is an important symbol for the country of Israel.

The Arch of Titus has inspired many famous buildings around the world, like the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. It helps us learn about art and history from ancient Rome.
