Arch of Constantine

Arch of Constantine was built in 315 AD and is a triumphal arch that celebrates the victory of Constantine over Maxentiu during the battle of Ponte Milvio.

The Arch of Constantine is located along the road traveled to celebrate the triumphs of ancient Rome and consists of three arches, a central one wider than the others, and four Corinthian columns set on the walls.

The monument was dedicated to the Emperor Constantineon in the occasion of the ten years of the Empire, the anniversary of the ten years of power, and the inscription located above the central arch testifies to this. 

On the Arch there are various representations and sculptures depicting the Victories, river divinities and other allegorical figures.
