The Arch of Titus presents a commemoration to the victories in the the city of Jerusalem and as a late religious statement to the emperor Titus. The iconic relief along this structure shows the spoils of war in Jerusalem with religious iconography such as the menorah, silver trumpets and the ark of the covenant.
Most importantly, the structure features an apotheosis of emperor Titus. This is seen in the image that depicts the late emperor crossed with an eagle, which is also another way to represent Jupiter.
This architectural feature is apart of this exhibit due to a direct line of divine form that the emperor is given in order to elevate his heritage and ultimately secure his power.
