Arch of Constantine (Rome)

Erected in 312 AD by the senate to commemorate liberation of Rome by Constantine from the tyrant Maxentius through his victory at the battle of the Milvian Bridge. The arch was decorated with sculptures taken from earlier monuments of Trajan, Hadrian and Marcus Aurelius.

The arch spans the Via Triumphalis, the way taken by the emperors when they entered the city in triumph. This route started at the Campus Martius, led through the Circus Maximus and around the Palatine Hill; immediately after the Arch of Constantine, the procession would turn left at the Meta Sudans and march along the Via Sacra to the Forum Romanum and on to the Capitoline Hill, passing both the Arches of Titus and Septimius Severus.
