The Arch of Titus, located in Rome, was constructed by the emperor Domitian after his older brother Titus died. It tells the tale of the capture and sack of Jerusalem in 70 AD that ended the Jewish War. The Arch of Titus was made with an ABA rhythm. Emperor Domitian’s favorite architect, Rabirius, is thought to have erected the arch. He is also sometimes credited to be the architect behind the Colosseum. The inscription on the front of the Arch of Titus reads “The Senate and People of Rome dedicate this to the divine Titus Vespasianus Augustus, son of the divine Vespasian.”
