Second monumental arch of Titus celebrating victory over Jews found in Rome – Ariel David – Haaretz 19.03.17
Arch unearthed at the entrance of the Circus Maximus was built by Titus' brother Domitian, boasting of how the Romans had done the undoable and 'subdued the Jews'. At a width of 17m and a height of more than 10m, the massive triple arch was much larger than its single-gated counterpart on the Palatine.
