Large Aquatint of the Arch of Titus, Located on the Via Sacra, Rome, Italy, 1820

About the Item

Antique print titled 'Arch of Titus'. Large aquatint of the Arch of Titus'. The Arch of Titus is a 1st-century AD honorific arch, located on the Via Sacra, Rome, just to the south-east of the Roman Forum. It was constructed in c. 81 AD by the Emperor Domitian shortly after the death of his older brother Titus to commemorate Titus's official deification or consecratio and the victory of Titus together with their father, Vespasian, over the Jewish rebellion in Judaea. The arch contains panels depicting the triumphal procession celebrated in 71 AD after the Roman victory culminating in the fall of Jerusalem, and provides one of the few contemporary depictions of artifacts of Herod's Temple. It became a symbol of the Jewish diaspora, and the menorah depicted on the arch served as the model for the menorah used as the emblem of the state of Israel. This print originates from ' Antiquities of Rome : comprising twenty-four select views of its principal ruins and a description of each view' by Henry Abbott. Artists and Engravers: Aquatinted by D. Havell. Condition: Good, general age-related toning. Minor wear, blank verso. Please study image carefully.
