Arch of Constantine The Arch of Constantine is the most imposing of all the triumphal arches in Rome. It was ordered by the Senate to recall the victory of Constantine over Maxentius. Like the Arch of Septimius Severus, it has three openings and is along the street that celebrated all triumphs. It's completely covered with scenes that exalt emperor Constantine as reformer of the State, with some of the more glorious episodes of the Roman Empire. But the peculiarity of the decorations of the arch are in the fact that the statues and reliefs that cover it were re-used from older monuments, creating a sort of puzzle of objects from different eras. Maybe this was due to the cost and scarcity of skilled laborers or perhaps to the fact that almost all the artists were moving to Constantinople, the new capital of the Empire. Then again, it may have been a conscious choice: the images had to illustrate the victories and power of Rome's new master through a visual language that the people were already familiar with so as to easily connect Constantine's reign with those of the most beloved emperors of the past. Naturally, the faces on the sculptures and reliefs of the preceding emperors were changed to that of Constantine! Since then, for similar reasons, it became normal to reuse decorations and elements from older buildings to embellish new constructions and in particular, churches.

The Arch of Constantine is a triumphal arch with three arches (with a central passage flanked by two smaller side passages), located in Rome, a short distance from the Colosseum. The Arch can be considered as a real official Roman sculpture museum, extraordinary for its richness and importance. The general dimensions of the elevation are 21 meters high, 25.9 meters wide and 7.4 meters deep. The arch was dedicated by the senate to commemorate the victory of Constantine I against Maxentius in the battle of Ponte Milvio (28 October 312) and inaugurated in 315 on the occasion of the ten years of the emperor's reign; the location, between the Palatine and the Celio, was on the ancient route of the triumphs. The arch is one of the three surviving triumphal arches in Rome: the other two are the arch of Titus (c. 81–90) and the arch of Septimius Severus (202–203). In 1530 Lorenzino de 'Medici was expelled from Rome for having cut off the heads on the reliefs of the arch for fun, which were partially reinstated in the 18th century. In 1960, during the Games of the XVII Olympiad in Rome, the Arch of Constantine was the spectacular goal of the legendary marathon won barefoot by the Ethiopian Abebe Bikila.
