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. 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.

St. Constantine was the son of Constance chlorine, ruled the western part of the Roman Empire (Gaul and Britain) and of St Helena. At the request of the Emperor Diocletian, he's a young (18 years) was taken from his parents as a hostage and lived at the court in Nicomedia. When Diocletian had abdicated, Constantine returned to Gaul and in 306 (after the death of the Emperor Constantius) was proclaimed emperor.
By the adoption of Christianity, he was placed by his mother. His father, though he was a pagan, but protected the Christians, seeing that Christians - and faithful servants of honest citizens. In the court of Diocletian at a time when he has not persecuted the Church, Christians were in different positions, and Constantine had many occasions to ensure their integrity and devotion to duty. Then he saw the horrors of persecution and the extraordinary hardness confessors of Christ, and predispose it is also in their favor. Later, Constantine himself admitted that he stay at the court of Diocletian promoted many of his conversion to Christianity.
Most of all, the Emperor Constantine met his opposition to Rome, where he was a strong pagan party. This resistance was found in the peculiarities of the Gentiles during the celebration of the 20th anniversary of Constantine's reign and cooled it to the former capital of the state. Finally, he completely left Rome, he founded a new Christian capital on the shores of the Bosphorus and invited the Christian bishops solemnly consecrate it, called Constantinople. Instead of pagan temples in the new capital of the empire began to build up Christian churches, and instead of statues of pagan gods - the sacred images.
