Constantine is considered the first Christian emperor and ruled in the IV century AD. When he defeated his colleague Maxentius in a battle on the Tiber river ( battle of the Milvian Bridge ), the senators dedicated this arch to him and to his faith, which we have reasons to believe it was christianity. The arch is a marvellous example of the ways in which the romans could use the vaults to built aqueducts, porches and bridges.
According to the legend before entering to Rome Costantine saw drawn in sky a cross of light with the words "in hoc signo vinces" , which means in english " you will win under this sign " and from that moment he wanted those words on the shields of his soldiers.
On October 28 of the year 312 A.D. Constantine defeated Maxentius in the battle of Ponte Milvio and triumphally entered to Rome. It had as recognitions the title of August, numerous statues and finally the arch of triumph that can be admired today still in front of the Colosseum.
It's a wonderful idea to park the limousine near the arch of Constantine and, while going to visit the Colosseum,admire the neat shape of the last arch built in ancient Rome.
