The Arch of Constantine (Italian: Arco di Costantino) is a triumphal arch in Rome, situated between the Colosseum and the Palatine Hill. It was erected by the Roman Senate to commemorate Constantine I's victory over Maxentius at the Battle of Milvian Bridge on October 28, 312.[1] Dedicated in 315, it is the latest of the existing triumphal arches in Rome, and the only one to make extensive use of spolia, re-using several major reliefs from 2nd century imperial monuments, which give a striking and famous stylistic contrast to the sculpture newly created for the arch.
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

Constantine est la troisième ville la plus importante d'Algérie en termes de population.
Constantine, l'une des plus anciennes cités du monde, est une ville importante dans l'histoire méditerranéenne. De son ancien nom Cirta, capitale de la Numidie, elle porte depuis 17 siècles le nom de l'empereur Constantin Ier qui la reconstruisit en 313. Constantine est également surnommée la « ville des ponts suspendus » ou bien « ville des aigles ». Ville du malouf, version constantinoise de la musique arabo-andalouse, et des oulémas, elle est la capitale régionale de l'Est du pays. (source wikipedia)

The bronze statue of Constantine outside the south transept of York Minster. He became Roman emperor in 306AD while visiting the fortress in York (Eboracum).
This Column was part of the Roman Basilica in York. The column is 31 feet in height. It was erected in 100ad. The Basilica was a substantial building some 72 meters long and as high as the Nave in York Minster. It is likely that the Emperor Constantine was proclaimed Emperor of Rome in the Basilica in 306ad.
I loved his sign... as this really has to be spelled out for some fangirls/boys. I've seen many "John Constantine - Hellblazer" cosplayers mistaken for Castiel (an angel from Supernatural who looks a little disheveled and wears a trench coat, too).
