Triumph on Arch of Titus, Via Sacra, Rome

Triumphal procession scene from the Arch of Titus. At far right is a four-horse chariot in which Titus stands. Behind him in the chariot stands a winged woman representing victory. Standing to the right of the chariot appear to be three men, two wearing togas and one bare-chested. In the background are more men, perhaps soldiers. Rising above their heads are the shafts of what look like spears. At the head of the horses stands the goddess Roma.
