The <\/span>Arch of Constantine<\/b> is the largest surviving example of the classic Roman triumphal arch. Triumphal arches were monuments to military triumphs and significant events; they were often constructed over roads and preferably on the route used by Triumphal processions.\u00a0 Although they served no practical purpose, they were intricately detailed and decorated with sculptures, reliefs, columns and bronze lettering (used for inscriptions).\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Situated between the Colosseum and the Palatine Hill, Constantine\u2019s Arch is still a prominent architectural feature of Rome\u2019s ancient city.\u00a0 Built in 315 A.D. it was placed along the <\/span>Via Triumphalis<\/span><\/i>, near the Roman Forum, making it highly visible to passers-by.\u00a0 Standing 20 meters high and 25 meters wide \u2013 it is still hard to miss.\u00a0 It has lost the marble that once decorated the panels surrounding the roundels and one yellow marble column – it only survives today thanks to the link to Constantine and his benevolence towards the Christian community.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
