Maxentius, a prominent figure in Roman history, is often associated with his rival Constantine and the symbol of the cross. One of the most significant events involving Maxentius was "The Battle at the Milvian Bridge, " depicted in a detailed fresco. This battle marked a turning point as it led to Constantine's victory and subsequent rise to power. Another notable artwork related to Maxentius is "St Catherine's disputation" found in the Hall of Saints within the Borgia apartments. This fresco showcases an intellectual debate between St Catherine and pagan philosophers, highlighting her unwavering faith. In Rome, one can find Trajan's Column and Marcus Aurelius' Column, both standing tall as reminders of ancient glory. These landmarks serve as a backdrop for understanding Maxentius' time. The Basilica stands proudly in Rome, Italy, showcasing its grandeur even today. Its architectural beauty reflects the influence that Maxentius had on shaping Rome during his reign. Artworks such as "Saint Catherine of Alexandria in Prison" and "The Dream of Saint Catherine of Alexandria" depict this saint's struggles and visions. These paintings capture her strength amidst adversity. "The Battle of Milvian Bridge: Victory of Constantine over Maxentius, " portrayed through oil on canvas, immortalizes this historic event while emphasizing Constantine's triumph over his adversary. The Arch of Constantine stands as another testament to their rivalry; it was built to commemorate Emperor Constantine I's victory over Maxentius. The arch features intricate designs depicting scenes from various battles fought by previous emperors. Coins portraying Emperor Maxentius offer glimpses into his appearance during different periods - from 309-312 AD - created by unknown artists who captured his likeness on these small yet valuable pieces. Lastly, an artwork titled "Saint Catherine Delivered from the Wheel" showcases another episode from St Catherine's life.
