The Arch of Constantine is a triumphal arch in Rome, situated between the Colosseum and the Palatine Hill. It was erected by the Roman Senate to commemorate the victory over Maxentius at the Battle of Milvian Bridge in 312 by Constantine the Great, aka Constantine I (272 - 337 AD). Dedicated in 315, it is the largest Roman triumphal arch spanning the Via triumphalis, the way taken by the emperors when they entered the city in triumph.
