Preservation
Today, the Arch looks like it survived the centuries in great shape, but this is not quite the case: instead of regular maintenance, it was subjected to various damages, so that it required restoration during the 19th century
![Page 25: Arcus Titi The Arch of Titus. The Arch of Titus is one of two remaining arches in the vicinity of the Forum Romanum](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649eb45503460f94bbbaeb/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Preservation
The arch was restored by Giuseppe Valadier. The outer sides were rebuilt in travertine (limestone facing) instead of marble, so they would be distinguishable from the original.
