Raphael's Rooms - The Battle of Constantine
This frescoe was actually executed by one of Raphael's students and shows the Battle of the Milvian Bridge - the battle that took place on October 28, 312 between the Roman Emperors Constantine I and Maxentius. Constantine won the battle, and attributed his victory to the God of Christianity.
The scene is set with topographical precision north of Rome with Monte Mario (on the left) where we can recognize Villa Madama, built in just those years by Raphael for the Pope.
