Thank you for the video and for commenting on the history
The COLOSSEUM turned out awesome.
Nice video, but this arch is not a typical victory/triumphal arch, it is a commemorative one, as it was built sometime after Titus' death in 81AD, either by his brother, later emperor Domitian, or by Trajan, to Titus's memory.
It was constructed by Domitian in 82 ad (shortly after Titus's death).
Long Live Titus!
Indeed!
Why
I heard it was the war booty from the conquest of Jerusalem that was used to build the Coloseum
nice presentation well explained, thank you.
Question about a triumphal arch. The victorious general would pass through it with spoils of war, prisoners etc. At what moment was the arch built? Did the general dispatch a messenger to report the victory and then construction would start in order to have it built by time time general returned? Where was the enemy general killed? At the arch or a wider public space? Awesome video, very well made.
the arch was made years after the victory, it was built where the procession would have occurred.
we share the same name... feels good 😌
Not quite the Steven I was expecting to hear... 😅 I was surprised by the momentary stranger danger I experienced initially, lol.
It was amazing to see the model of the Jerusalem Temple, though. I've always wondered what it looked like. It was also a bit amusing hearing about how strange my spiritual older cousins were to their contemporaries. Abai definitely has His own way of doing things and we who believe are still perceived as strange to this day. 😋
good
I feel that this generation witnessed the archeological evidences of Bible history never before any generations
"But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased." (Daniel 12:4)
On the Smarthistory website Dr. Beth Harris, who also speaks in this video, isn't credited! Only Dr. Becker is mentioned!
Thank you for speaking up. That is because Dr. Becker wrote the essay. Beth is credited within the video. The technology of the website at present doesn't do everything we'd like but we do what we can with our limited budget.

Rome has that triumphal arch for Titus; according to Josephus, Titus eliminated over 1 million during the Jerusalem campaign, as well as desecrating the 2nd Temple. Some believe it was holy retribution that he only survived for two years as emperor...
No, it was the "Will of the Gods" that he put that abomination and desecration to ruin where it belonged. Just as Jesus. Nice way to try to spin get your ass kicked though. LOL! "Some believe....." What a bunch of pathetic, coping idiots. LOL!
this seems to be common practice to carve these images of victory, Egyptians did it maybe this is borrowing from that culture, though it seems to have fallen out of practice in modern times. Although I guess you could say the raising of the flag on Iwo Jima might be a modern equivalent.
I think it is stupid that you can’t walk through it now. Completely blocked off at the prompting/direction of one of the relatively recent popes…name escapes me at the moment.
But the ark?
Went missing during the Babylonian revolt
Are the slaves depicted on the arch or only Roman soldier s?
"Ghastly"! That pretty much sums it up...
Nothing ghastly about it at all. 70 AD was divine judgement on apostate Old Covenant Jerusalem who persecuted the Saints and crucified the Messiah. Read Matthew 24. Or are you one of these wretched Zionist/dispensationalists?
Jews have a tradition to walk under the arch of Titus backwards
"Violence" is an important point. We should remember that this "triumph" for the Romans was a horrific massacre for the Jewish people -- the destruction of the Temple, Masada, Qumran, and much more.
Justice
Proud to say they are my ancestors
Titus was a hero
Based
It’s going to happen again, crazy how history for thousands of years repeats this? 🤔
Dr. Fine, I am sure the Creator got the final laugh when Titus died. I can hear God Almighty chuckle and say to Titus, “Well, well, WELL....”
That part. And Titus mouth shut without the garment of righteousness. Bound him hand and foot.
It does Not exemplify Roman art! It exemplifies quite literally the destruction n occupation of Judea and exhale of Jewish people from their land
Why can't it exemplify both of those things? Why are exile and style in art mutually exclusive?
Or both,🇮🇱🇮🇹
Romans didn't care much what you believed as long as you paid your taxes and didn't start trouble.
2,000 years ago, there was a Jew named Jesus who recommended paying your taxes to Caesar and not rebelling against the authorities.
If most Jews had listened to him and not rebelled against one of the most tolerant ancient Empires in human history, the Arch of Titus wouldn't exist.
Lol shows us Jews wearing yamulke kippah...Many reform secular Jews claim this is a middle age custom from Talmud which they reject...שלום
Look again. The figures represented are most certainly Roman soldiers wearing crowns of laurel representing their victory over the Jews.
Oh look, it's you being stupid again! Why am I not surprised ;) (muh Talmud. LOL!)
