🏛️ The Last Glory of the Empire - Arch of Constantine 🏛️

When Emperor Constantine defeated his formidable rival Maxentius and united the empire, the Senate and citizens celebrated his victory by constructing the Arch of Constantine. It is the latest and largest of the three surviving triumphal arches in Rome today.

Driven by the pragmatic spirit of the Romans and to showcase the triumphs of war, numerous triumphal arches were built. They typically feature a square-shaped structure with three-dimensional walls and a high pedestal, standing prominently in the center of a great avenue, symbolizing a "gate" welcoming the return of heroes.

As a commemorative structure, the Arch of Constantine is highly decorative, adorned with reliefs throughout its entire body, highlighting the theme of celebrating Emperor Constantine's victories. However, these decorations were not originally carved for this arch but were dismantled from various existing commemorative buildings and reassembled.

The Arch of Constantine not only looks back upon the accomplishments of emperors but also showcases the development of relief art during different historical periods in Rome. However, at the same time, the decorative elements of this arch reflect signs of artistic decline in Roman art, such as the neglect of proper proportions and mechanical-like human figures. This decline in artistry is not limited to the relief decorations of the arch but is also evident in the lack of innovative development in sculpture art.
