ARCUS TITI
often called
ARCUS VESPASIANI ET TITI, erected in 80/81 A.D.
by the senate in honour of the emperor Titus, and to commemorate the
capture of Jerusalem. We have no information about this arch, except
what is contained in the inscription (
CIL vi. 944) preserved in the
Einsiedeln Itinerary and reported to have been found in the circus
Maximus. As a fragment (No. 38) of the Marble Plan indicates an arch
at the east end of the circus, it is supposed that this arch replaced the
porta Pompae, as the entrance at this point of the circus was regularly
called.
