The Arch of Constantine was erected by the Roman Senate in 312 A.D. to commemorate Constantine's victory over Maxentius. Over 1,650 years later, it was used as the finish line in the 1960 Summer Olympics.

Big Head
This head was originally part of a colossal statue of Constantine the Great that once stood near the Roman Forum and was erected around 325 BC. Centuries later, the surviving remnants of the Colossus were moved to a courtyard of the Capitoline Museum.
