5. - Aug. 5, A. D. 70.
46 THE ARCH OF TITUS had happened, ran to the spot to arrest the fire, with his officers and soldiers, all amazed ; and called upon the men to extinguish the flames. But neither threats nor persuasion could avail. They pretended not to hear his orders, and called upon each other to extend the conflagration. Many, in their impetuous rush into the Temple, were crushed to death by their own comrades ; many perished with their opponents in the ruins. The Jews, within the Temp...le, were most of them unarmed, and were instantly butchered wherever they were caught. The steps of the altar flowed with blood, and the dead were crowded round it in heaps. The fire, in the meantime, was spreading everywhere ; but as it had not reached the Holy Place as yet, Titus, with the help of the captain of his body-guard, made a last and vigorous effort to save it. But nothing could stop the furious onset of the soldiers, sharpened, as it was, by their hatred of the Jews, and by the hopes of plunder, which they expected would be gratified by the far-famed treasures of the inner Temple ; which all they saw around them tended to confirm.
