On Via Triumphalis ...

... a view of two of Rome's most famous monuments/landmarks from the current road that is on what was the Via Triumphalis, the Arch of Constantine and the Colosseum.

 

By tradition, Roman Generals awarded a triumphal procession marched with their soldiers, prisoners and loot from the Campus Martius to the Capitoline Hill.

 

The Arch of Constantine was built to commemorate Emperor's victory at the Battle of Milvian Bridge in 312 AD. The design of many triumphal arches around the world have taken inspiration from its design.

 

The Colosseum was completed in 80 AD and at nearly 2,000 years old remains one of the world's largest still standing arenas.
