dc.description | Overall view, looking up (over life-size); Titus (Titus Flavius Caesar Vespasianus Augustus; 30 December 39-13 September 81) was Roman Emperor from 79 to 81 CE. A member of the Flavian dynasty, Titus succeeded his father Vespasian upon his death, thus becoming the first Roman Emperor to come to the throne after his own father. Prior to becoming Emperor, Titus gained renown as a military commander, serving during the First Jewish-Roman War (commemorated in the Arch of Titus which shows the sack of the Temple in Jerusalem). He is shown in military costume. The colossal statue was given in 1609 to the Salle des Antiquities of the Louvre by Henri IV; it shows evidence of some reworking in the Renaissance, with perhaps additions to the costume by Girardon in 1685, when it was at Versailles. It was transferred back to the Louvre in 1798. Source: Louvre Museum [website]; http://www.louvre.fr/ (accessed 8/6/2013) | en_US |
