Arch of Constantine
The Arch of Constantine is a triumphal arch in Rome dedicated to the emperor Constantine the Great. The arch was commissioned by the Roman Senate to commemorate Constantine’s victory over Maxentius at the Battle of Milvian Bridge in AD 312. It is the largest surviving Roman triumphal arch and the last great monument of Imperial Rome.
It is located along the Via Triumphalis, the route taken by victorious military leaders when they entered the city in a triumphal procession. It has three bays, with a large central arch and two smaller side arches, each flanked by detached Corinthian columns on pedestals.
