Constantine at the Milvian Bridge
“North of Rome, October 28, 312 CE. Constantine's cavalry drives Maxentius' forces onto the collapsing pontoon over the Tiber. Foreground shows the chi-rho painted on shields and Maxentius unhorsed in the river; midground reveals legionaries struggling in the water and a broken span tipping into the current; the seven hills of Rome rise across the autumn floodplain.”
