Description
When in Rome....take photos! We took off on our first morning in Rome to the Coliseum, a 15 min walk from the bed and breakfast. From the first view of it, I couldn't stop taking pictures! And once inside it was the same. When you get higher up in the Coliseum, you get wonderful views of the Arch of Constantine (seen here) and behind it Palatine Hill and the Forum. It seems like every view is better than the last and you just can't get enough of it! The Arch of Constantine was erected by the Roman Senate to commemorate Constantine I's victory over Maxentius at the Battle of Milvian Bridge on October 28, 312. Dedicated in 315, it is the latest of the existing triumphal arches in Rome, and the only one to make extensive use of spolia, re-using several major reliefs from 2nd century imperial monuments. The arch spans the Via Triumphalis, the way taken by the emperors when they entered the city in triumph.
