The Arch of Titus is a triumphal arch with a single opening located on the Via Sacra just southeast of the Roman Forum and constructed by Emperor Domitian shortly after the death of his older brother, Titus (born AD 41, Emperor of Rome from 79-81) commemorating the capture and sack of Jerusalem in 70 A.D. effectively ending the Jewish War.
