The Arco di Costantino (English: Arch of Constantine) was a structure that formed a part of the Roman Forum.
History
It's widely accepted that Emperor Constantine I had an insatiable thirst for gloating. So, when he defeated Emperor Maxentius and took the throne in 312, no one was surprised when he built this arch to commemorate his victory. Most of the artwork on the arch was plundered from existing monuments and modified to alter its meaning.[1]
