The Column of Constantine (or Burnt Column) is a Roman monumental column constructed on the orders of the Roman emperor Constantine the Great in 330 AD. It commemorates the declaration of Byzantium (renamed by Constantine as Nova Roma) as the new capital city of the Roman Empire. The column is located on Yeniçeriler Caddesi in central Istanbul, along the old Divan Yolu (the 'Road to the Imperial Council') between Sultanahmet and Beyazıt Square (known as Forum Tauri in the Roman period.)

The Arch of Constantine is a triumphal arch in Rome, situated between the Colosseum and the Palatine Hill. It was erected to commemorate Constantine I's victory over Maxentius at the Battle of Milvian Bridge on October 28, 312. Dedicated in 315, it is the latest of the existing triumphal arches in Rome, from which it differs by spolia, the extensive re-use of parts of earlier buildings.

Another detail of the left side of the arch. The roundel is a representation of the Sun God with his four-horse chariot (the opposite side of the arch has a matching roundel with a carving of the Moon Goddess) and actually comes efrom the time of Constantine, as does the frieze below it. This part of the frieze shows Constantine's triumphal procession through Rome after his victory. He's riding the chariot in the rear while soldiers with prisoners march ahead of him.

Treves (Trier) 25th October 2007: Visit of the Exhibition : Konstantin (Roman Emperor )
Special introduction for history lovin friends of mine:-):
The emperor Constantine has rightly been called the most important emperor of Late Antiquity. His powerful personality laid the foundations of post-classical European civilization; his reign was eventful and highly dramatic. His victory at the Milvian Bridge counts among the most decisive moments in world history, while his legalization and support of Christianity and his foundation of a 'New Rome' at Byzantium rank among the most momentous decisions ever made by a European ruler. The fact that ten Byzantine emperors after him bore his name may be seen as a measure of his importance and of the esteem in which he was held.
