Lena Einhorn’s new novel, “Titusbågen” (The Arch of Titus), centers around numerous historical figures connected to the iconic Roman landmark. The book ambitiously weaves together the stories of those who have passed near the arch throughout history. According to a review in *Dagens Nyheter*, the novel is somewhat uneven in its execution. However, the book notably shines when it challenges conventional historical narratives. Critic Johanna Käck praises Einhorn's insightful examination of traditional history writing. “Titusbågen” offers a unique perspective by focusing on the physical location as a constant through shifting eras and personalities. Overall, the novel presents an engaging, though imperfect, exploration of Rome’s rich past.
