The Arch of Titus may not be a correct representation of how the Temple Menorah looked. According to Maimonides, the arms of the Menorah were straight and not curved.

[AnalogReigns]

There's been an age-old argument about whether the arms were curved or straight.

Here's the first solid gold full-size (nearly 6 feet tall!) Menorah since the Romans took the one in the Temple. Imagine its weight, and worth!
(from the Temple Institute in Jerusalem.)
