The Arch of Titus is on the Via Sacra, just to the south-east of the Roman Forum. It was built in 82 AD by Emperor Domitian shortly after the death of his older brother Titus to commemorate Titus' victories in the First Roman-Jewish War, including the Siege of Jerusalem in 70 AD.

The Colosseum was built with concrete and stone. Concrete made it possible to build it in just 7-8 years. The great load bearing capacity of the arch and the vaulted arch also made its construction possible. The work was funded with the booty from the First Jewish-Roman War and the labour of 100,000 slaves from Judea were used. The Colosseum was built on the site of a lake built be emperor Nero. Before construction the site had to be drained.
