Antique print titled 'Arch of Constantine'. Large aquatint of the 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. Situated between the Colosseum and the Palatine Hill, the arch spans the Via triumphalis, the route taken by victorious military leaders when they entered the city in a triumphal procession.
This print originates from ' Antiquities of Rome : comprising twenty-four select views of its principal ruins and a description of each view' by Henry Abbot.
