Arch of Titus, 81 CE Spoils from Temple of Jerusalem Triumph of Titus “more prominent than the rest were those [spoils] captured in the Temple at Jerusalem - a golden table and a lampstand similarly made of gold . . . . The central shaft was fixed to a base and from it extended slender branches placed like the prongs of a trident, and with the end of each one forged into a lamp: these numbered seven, signifying the honor paid to that number by the Jews. Next came a large group carrying images of Victory, all fashioned out of ivory and gold. Behind them drove Vespasian first with Titus behind him . . . a splendid sight.” - Flavius Josephus
