| Figure EUR-ita-031. Alexei Alexeev and the south view of the Arco di Costantino (Arch of Constantine) and the west side of the Colosseum (Flavian Amphitheatre). The Arch of Constantine was erected by the Roman Senate to commemorate the Roman Emperor Constantine the Great (r. 306-337 AD) victory over the rival Emperor Maxentius (r. 306-312 AD) at the Battle of Milvian Bridge on 28 October 312 AD. This is a massive architectural collage, combining specially comissioned decorative artworks with the extensive corpus of spolia from the time of the Emperors Trajan (r. 98-117 AD), Hadrian (r. 117-138 AD), and Marcus Aurelius (r. 161-180 AD). |
