The Arch of Titus, Rome ||

Right inside the Roman Forum is the Arch of Titus. Although it’s been eroded with time, its depiction of the sacking of Jerusalem is historically significant. It also has more in common with its most famous neighbor than you might think. #ArchofTitus, #Rome, #Italy, #TinyTours, #Shorts, #10MinuteTours, #Travel, #History

Was it the coliseum or the amphitheater or both? I swear I'm not just being pedantic, I'm genuinely curious.

[@10-minutetours]

The Colosseum was called the Flavian Amphitheater when it was being used. We actually will have a short about it at the end of February. Sorry, it’s so far out!

@@10-minutetours The Coliseum was the giant statue next to the Flavian amphitheater, which is where the modern confusion arises. Hence my question, was it the Coliseum (big statue) or the Amphitheater (arena - which actually means sand) or both.

[@10-minutetours]

Yes, the Colossus of Nero was next to the amphitheater. But, really, what’s in a name?

[@brutusthebear9050]

@@10-minutetours You still didn't answer the question. Was the loot used to build the statue, the arena, or both.

[@10-minutetours]

The Colossus of Nero was built between 64-68 AD, so the loot was used to built the amphitheater.

Jesus says that he is the light of the world which he is referring to the Menorah in the Jewish Temple.
When the Romans carry the Menorah into Rome, they have unknowingly brought Jesus the Christ into Europe.

What a great symbol!

Harod-According to the soldier depiction owned what -to my knowledge is- a Jewish candelabra!

[@10-minutetours]

Right, that is a depiction of the Romans taking the treasures out of the Temple of Harod.
