The Triumphal Arch of Titus in
Rome, was built in 20 A. ID. to COM

was dedicated to the Emperor Titus
after his death. 1t is adorned with fine
sculptures in relief. On the frieZe out
side is sacrificial procession and on
the inner side Titus is seen crowned
by Victory in quadriga driven by
Roma. On another part of the arch is
triumphal procession of Jews, the
Table of Shew Bread. and the seven
branched candlestiCk. In the center
of the vauIting the consecrated emper-
or is seen being carried to heaven by
an eagle.

were removed and il was partly recon-
Structed. The colosseum, with seats
for 10000 spectators. originally called
the Flavian amphitheater was com
