EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century engraving captures the dramatic moment of Emperor Maxence's defeat during the Battle of the Milvius Bridge on 28 October 312. The image depicts the chaotic scene as Maxence, with his army in flight, purportedly perished by drowning in the Tiber river. The artist skillfully conveys the intensity of battle, with horses charging and soldiers engaged in combat.
The historical significance of this event is palpable in the engraving, as it marks a pivotal moment in Roman history when Constantine emerged victorious over his rival Maxence. The defeat of Maxence ultimately led to Constantine becoming the sole ruler of Rome and solidifying Christianity as a dominant religion within the empire.
The intricate details captured in this print from "Storia di Roma" by Francesco Bertolini bring to life a crucial chapter in ancient Roman history. From the determination on Constantine's face to the desperation of Maxence's forces fleeing across the bridge, every element tells a story of power, conquest, and fate.
As we gaze upon this engraving, we are transported back to a time when emperors clashed for supremacy and nations hung in balance. It serves as a reminder of how one fateful battle can change the course of history forever.
