Arch of Constantine
(Sights & Activities - Sightseeing)
Piazza del Colosseo
Rome 00184

Description:
Built in 315 AD to commemorate the emperor's triumph at the Battle of the Milvian Bridge in 312 AD. The battle marked a turning point in the history of Rome and Christianity, as the skirmish was closely related to Constantine's conversion and his issuance of the Edict of Milan. The edict provided Christianity with legal status that was previously unavailable during several decades of intense persecution.
