Lonely Planet review for Arco di Costantino

The Arco di Costantino (Arch of Constantine) was built in 312 to commemorate Constantine’s victory over his rival Maxentius at the Battle of Ponte Milvio (see). One of the last great Roman monuments, it is a patchwork of panels from other sculptures – the lower stonework dates from Domitian’s reign (AD 81–96) while the eight large medallions depicting hunting scenes are Hadrianic (117–138). Between the Colosseum and the arch you can see the brick foundations of an ancient fountain known as the Meta Sudans (Sweating Meta).
