Jerusalem fell to the Roman legions in 70 A.D. during the reign of Titus. The treasures of the Temple, including the golden menorah, were hauled off to Rome, and the Jews scattered to the four corners of the earth. That event was commemorated shortly thereafter by the erection of the Arch of Titus on Rome's Via Sacra. Jerusalem must have been a very important place. [2006]
