The Arch Of Constantine

The Arch Of Constantine in Rome

Constantine's Arch is located next to The Colosseum on the Piazza Dei Colosseum, at the end of Via Di San Gregorio VII.

The Arch Of Constantine is a good example of Roman building practices - most of the building materials and decorations were "recycled", taken from previous buildings and monuments.

The Arch Of Constantine to the left and The Arch Of Titus to the right, seen from The Colosseum

Here you see the Arch of Constantine to the left and the Arch of Titus to the right up the Palatine Hill. Victory processions would start South of the Arch of Constantine, go through it and turn left after the arch, and up the road to and through the Arch of Titus, and down through the Forum end and at the Temple of Jupiter.
