The Arch of Constantine
The Arch of Constantine was erected in 315 in commemoration of the victory of Constantine I the Great at the battle of the Milvian Bridge. It is located between the Colosseum and the Palatine Hill.
Built from pieces of earlier buildings, the Arch of Constantine is the most modern of the triumphal arches that were made in ancient Rome. It has a height of 21 meters, a width of 25 and is made up of three arches.
In the reliefs of the monument, made with marble blocks, you can see statues taken from the Trajan's Forum and some reliefs in which Marco Aurelio appears distributing bread among the poor, in addition to the representation of Trajan after his victory against the Dacians.
The Arch of Constantine is one of the best preserved
monuments of Ancient Rome.
