The Arch of Titus is a 1st-century honorific arch. It was constructed in 82 AD by the Roman Emperor Domitian shortly after the death of his older brother Titus.
The Arch of Titus has provided the general model for many of the triumphal arches erected since the 16th century. One of the most famously it is the inspiration for the 1806 Arc de Triomphe in Paris, France, completed in 1836. (Seen below)
