## Image Caption

A reconstructed relief panel from the original on the [Arch of Titus, Rome](https://www.worldhistory.org/article/499/the-arch-of-titus-rome/), c. 81 CE. The scene, showing the [triumph](https://www.worldhistory.org/Roman_Triumph/) of [Titus](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/Titus/), is carved in three-quarter view and has Titus riding a four-horse [chariot](https://www.worldhistory.org/chariot/) (quadriga) and shows him being crowned by a personification of Victory. The goddess [Roma](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/Roma/) stands in front, holding the bridle of one of the horses. The two figures to the right of the chariot are personifications of the people of [Rome](https://www.worldhistory.org/Rome/) (naked torso) and the Senate (wearing a toga). (Los Angeles County Museum of Art, L.A.)
