rse thandeath. No doubt among that band of prisoners whomarched through Rome that day were some who hadheard of the prophecy of Christ and had seen him cruci-fied. Now, too late, they realized what they had done.Following the captive Jews came the spoils of war. Andhere was to be seen the furniture of Solomons Temple—the golden candlestick, the table of showbread and the Arkof the Covenant—all carried on the shoulders of captiveJews. It must have been an imposing spectacle. After this the Senate decreed that a triumphal archshould be erected to commemorate the destruction of Jeru-salem and the victory of Titus. This was built in A. D. 81,and in this structure we have a silent witness to the truthof the Bible. To-day the arch is standing across the tri-umphal way. It is finely embellished with statuary in re-lief. One figure represents Titus crowned by victory. Butthe most interesting part of the work is a representation ofthe triumphal procession with the captive Jews, the victors

WANDERINGS IN BIBLE LANDS. 71 carrying the golden candlestick with seven branches andthe table with the showbread. The work was finelywrought in marble, and the carved candlestick agreesexactly with the description given in the Bible. It showsthat the artist had the candlestick before him when he didthe work. The features of the men are also of the well-known Jewish type. Here is indisputable evidence thatTitus destroyed Jerusalem, that he carried the Jews intocaptivity and that he brought the holy vessels and thefurniture of the temple to Rome. We made a careful and critical examination of thisrelic of the past, and to us it seems a wonderful witness clthe truth of Gods Book. As we stood beneath the loftyarch, we thought of Hawthornes words, Standing be-neath the Arch of Titus, and amid so much dust, it is diffi-cult to forbear the commonplaces of enthusiasm, on whichhundreds of tourists have already insisted. Over the half-worn pavement, and beneath this arch, the Roman armieshad tr
The Romans traced the traditions of the triumph back to their own beginnings. Rome’s legendary founder, Romulus, was the first to celebrate the rite when he defeated and killed Acron, the king of Caenina. The Roman triumph was an ancient martial tradition, a parade with symbolic culmination involved elevating the victorious general (triumphator) to divine status for a single day. The Romans marked his status by staining his face red using the mineral pigment cinnabar. The depictions on the Arch of Titus serve as a visual representation of the Roman victory over the Jewish rebellion and the subsequent devastation of Jerusalem. For many Jewish people, the arch symbolizes the loss of the Second Temple and the dispersion of the Jewish community. It stands as a historical reminder of the Roman conquest and the diaspora that followed. In the summer of 71 C.E. the Roman emperor Vespasian and Titus, his eldest son, had quelled a dangerous revolt in the Roman province of Judea and returned to Rome to celebrate this major accomplishment. Not only that, but the Flavian dynasty (Vespasian and his two sons Titus and Domitian) had succeeded in winning the throne during the year 69 C.E.—a time of bloody civil turmoil known as the “Year of the Four Emperors.” The arch was constructed in 82 CE to commemorate the military victories of the Roman Emperor Titus, particularly his conquest of Jerusalem and the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE. The reliefs on the arch depict scenes from the war, including the triumphal procession with Roman soldiers carrying the looted treasures from the Temple, such as the menorah (the seven-branched candelabrum) and the silver trumpets and other spoils of war taken from Jerusalem during the First Jewish-Roman War (66-73 CE).
