Italian Architecture

Italian Architecture, vintage 8 x 10 inch silver print fiber double-weight photograph depicting "The Arch of Titus." Printed in the second half of the 20th century as part of the American Heritage Publishing Archive.

The Arch of Titus is a 1st-century A.D. honorific arch, located on the Via Sacra, Rome, just to the south-east of the Roman Forum. It was constructed in c. A.D. 81 by the Emperor Domitian shortly after the death of his older brother Titus to commemorate Titus' victories, including the Siege of Jerusalem (AD 70). The arch has provided the general model for many triumphal arches erected since the 16th century—perhaps most famously it is the inspiration for the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, France.

Verso bears credit stampings and filing notations. In very good condition.
