Arch of Titus (Arco di Tito) Tours
This towering Roman triumphal arch was erected by Emperor Domitian in the first century AD to commemorate the Roman siege of Jerusalem. Located in the Roman Forum, the Arch of Titus (Arco di Tito) is an impressive monument in the vast archaeological site and a model for dozens of triumphal arches erected in the millennia since.
The Basics
The Arch of Titus stands over Via Sacra on the southeastern end of the Roman Forum and depicts the victories of Vespasian and Titus in Jerusalem, in particular the plundering of the city’s great temple. The white-marble arch is covered in intricate reliefs and is best visited with a guide who can help you interpret these and other important ruins in the Roman Forum.
Join an ancient Rome tour to visit Rome’s most famous archaeological site and the Palatine Hill, along with skip-the-line access to the adjacent Colosseum. If you are traveling with children, opt for a family-friendly tour that makes these ancient sites more engaging.
Things to Know Before You Go
How to Get There
The Arch of Titus is located at the Roman Forum, alongside the Colosseum and Palatine Hill in the center of Rome near the Colosseo station on metro line B.
When to Get There
The ruins at the Roman Forum are outdoors, so visit in early morning or late afternoon in summer to avoid the midday heat and crowds, and on clear days if visiting in winter. The archaeological site tends to be less crowded midweek than on weekends.
The Plundering of the Temple of Jerusalem on the Arch
One of the most important reliefs on the Arch of Titus depicts the plundering of the Temple of Jerusalem on the south panel. Spoils include a menorah, the shape of which was the inspiration for Israel’s official state emblem; silver trumpets; fire pans for clearing the ashes from the temple’s altar; and the table of shewbread where unleavened loaves were left in offering.

Fast track: Colosseum Underground tour with Forum and Palatine Hill
1
No trip to Rome would be complete without a visit to the Colosseum and the neighboring Forum and Palatine Hill. On this exciting guided tour you will see the sites with the added experience of seeing the Colosseum through the eyes of the gladiators on the arena floor and in the underground passages.
As well as seeing the first two tiers of the amphitheatre, you will also stand on the arena floor and look up around you into the stands as the gladiators would have done.
Then explore the underground passageways that lie beneath the arena, where wild beasts would have been kept and gladiators would have prepared themselves for battle. This is where much of the action would have taken place, just behind the scenes – unknown even to most Roman citizens at the time. Then in the Forum you will see where public life unfolded.On the Palatine Hill you will walk through the palaces of emperors which stand where the legendary Romulus supposedly founded the great city.
