Constantine Triumph, built in 315 A.D., is the latest of the three existing triumph gates in Rome. It was built to celebrate Constantine's complete defeat of his powerful enemy, Maxenti, in 312 A.D., and the reunification of the empire. The relief board above the Arc de Triomphe was taken directly from other buildings in Rome at that time. The main contents are the life achievements of the emperors of the past dynasties, such as Anthony, Hadrian and so on. The following is the battle scene of Constantine. So although the Triumph of Constantine is the latest of the three triumphal gates in Rome, we can still see the shadow of early Roman art, which is well preserved and worth seeing. This is a triumphal arch with three arches, 21 meters high, 25.7 meters wide and 7.4 meters deep. Because it adjusts the ratio of high to wide, across the middle of the road, it appears huge. The inside and outside of the Arc de Triomphe are full of various reliefs. On the surface, the huge Arc de Triomphe and abundant reliefs are of great style, but lack of overall concept. The reason is that the various parts of the Arc de Triomphe were not created as a unity, and even most of its components were removed from some memorial buildings in the past, such as the ribbons on the buildings of Tulazhen Square, a series of shield reliefs on Hadrian Square, and eight panels on the Monument to the Emperor Mark & 183 and the Monument to the Emperor Orlo. Nevertheless, it is still a magnificent triumphal arch. Especially the carvings of the important periods of the Roman Empire preserved on it are a vivid history of Roman carvings. It is said that Napoleon came to Rome and saw the Arc de Triomphe, which has become the blueprint of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, France.

Constantine the Arc de Triomphe of Constantine was Constantine the Great in victory over his strong opponent, Maxson The arch was built after the unification of western Rome. It was built after 312 AD and was built with Roman cement. The sculptures on it were mostly reliefs and mostly collected from other buildings of the Roman Empire at the time, and were assembled into the Arc de Triomphe of Constantine. The most famous of the many reliefs is the eight reliefs at the top of the Arc de Triomphe, which were removed from the monument of Emperor Mark Orlo and are now treasured in the Capitol Museum.

    The second floor of the Colosseum offers a view of the Arc de Triomphe of Constantine. Although not as grand as the Arc de Triomphe of Paris, the fact is that Napoleon built the Arc de Triomphe of Paris after watching it.

    The first time I saw the Arc de Triomphe, it was inadvertently. Everyone knows the gladiators and the Colosseum in Rome. They have seen the Colosseum, walked among the ruins of the ancient Roman Square and looked at the ruins. Suddenly, they found this well-preserved and exquisitely carved building. I think the first thing most people see must be the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. Perhaps the latter is inherited or inspired from this vein. Completely stony buildings allow them to survive for thousands of years without being destroyed. It's not easy to see them now. Just as a tourist, I can not understand the words and patterns carved on it, but simply feel that the carving is exquisite and delicate.
