Answer to Question 1

Propaganda for the Roman Empire was often found in the impressive public sculptures and monuments. The triumphal arch was the landmark image of Roman imperial victory and served as visual propaganda. For example, The Spoils of Jerusalem on the Arch of Titus, remains a vivid record of conquest and triumph. It depicts a typical Roman triumphal procession celebrating the destruction of Jerusalem and the pillage of the Temple of Solomon. Crowned with laurel wreaths of victory, Roman soldiers march through a city gate carrying the menorah and other spoils of victory.
While triumphal arches served as visual propaganda for Rome's military exploits, monumental sculpture glorified Roman rulers. The statues, often with a leader astride a horse, were flattering idealizations (handsome faces and canonic proportions) that placed the military leaders in loftier sphere than the everyday citizens.
