Arch of Constantine

819
The Arch of Constantine (312–315 AD) in Rome commemorates Emperor Constantine's victory over Maxentius. This monumental structure ingeniously integrates earlier imperial reliefs from the reigns of Trajan, Hadrian, and Marcus Aurelius with new scenes from Constantine's era. This blend of styles underscores political continuity and Constantine's emergence as the sole ruler of the Roman Empire, symbolizing a pivotal moment in Roman history.
