The Arch of Titus "قوس تيتوس"

Description
Rome. c. 81 CE (restored 1822–1824). Concrete and white marble, height 50' (15 m).

The Julio-Claudian dynasty ended with the suicide of Nero in 68 CE.
Eventually Vespasian seized control of the government in 69 CE, founding a new dynasty known as the Flavian.
They replaced the Julio-Claudian fashion for classicizing imperial portraiture with a return to the ideal of time-worn faces, enhancing the effects of old age.

The Arch of Titus
When Domitian assumed the throne in 81 CE, he commissioned a triumphal arch to honor the capture of Jerusalem by his brother and deified predecessor, Titus.
Constructed of concrete and faced with marble, the Arch of Titus is essentially a free-standing gateway whose passage is covered by a barrel vault.
