O Divine Titus! A Roman Triumph
Section Five 5 of 7

  Conclusion
 
 
Augustus
 
Today, whenever a traveler passes through this arch, he or she will always be reminded the triumph of Titus. When one walks from the Colloseum to the Foro Romana, that person is actually walking on Via Sacra, the vary route which Titus had ridden to the Temple of Jupiter. And as one approaches the entrance to the forum, one would pass under the Arch of Titus and feel the magnificent Roman army, the festive parade, the graceful Titus, the Winged Symbol of Victory, all engraved besides him: the entire triumphal procession came to life and engulfed the traveler. Roman Empire had fallen, but the spirit of Rome shall live, forever.
