The lesser-known Arch of Titus was a triple arch erected by the east end of the Circus Maximus by the Senate in 81 AD, in honour of Titus and his capture of Jerusalem in the First Jewish–Roman War. Few traces remain. The inscription, quoted by the Einsiedeln Anonymous (CIL 6.944), makes it clear that this was Titus' triumphal arch.
