In 2012, a team of historians, scientists, and archaeologists began to study the Spoils Panel of the Arch of Titus, Rome, hoping to discover and reconstruct the original colors of this remarkable work of art. The Learning Sites team was hired by the Institute for the Visualization of History, working with Yeshiva University Center for Israel Studies, re-create the panel as it might have once looked. This video chronicles our methods and progress.

As the video makes clear, the only original color that they can be certain of is the yellow-gold of the Menorah. All the rest is speculation, based on other Roman monuments. But this is a significant achievement.
