in the temple rebuilt after the babylonian exile the golden altar was restored. antiochus epiphanes took it away, but it was afterwards restored by judas maccabeus (1 maccabees 1:23; 4:49). it was at this altar that zechariah ministered when an angel appeared to him (). among the trophies carried away by titus after the destruction of jerusalem, and depicted on the arch of titus in rome, the altar of incense is not depicted, though the menorah, silver trumpets (the "hasoserah" mentioned in ), the mortar and pestle used for preparing the incense, and possibly the table of showbread are.
