66
The Colossus of Constantine was a monumental acrolithic statue of Emperor Constantine the Great (reigned 306–337 AD) that once stood in the Basilica of Maxentius. Fragments such as the foot, head, and hands highlight the grandeur of Constantine’s rule and the artistic ambition of late Roman imperial sculpture, symbolizing the emperor’s enduring legacy.
