EDITORS COMMENTS
Constantine Halts the Revolt: A Pivotal Moment in Roman History This powerful image captures the decisive moment when Emperor Constantine I, dressed in military regalia, halts the rebellion of Maxentius during the Battle of Saxa Rubra on October 28, 312. The scene unfolds near the ancient walls of Rome, with the Tiber River in the background. Maxentius, a claimant to the Roman throne, had led a rebellion against Constantine, who had been recognized as the legitimate emperor by the majority of the Roman world. Maxentius had the support of many Italians, who saw him as a champion against the usurper. The Battle of Saxa Rubra was a turning point in the conflict between the two emperors. Constantine's forces, bolstered by his famous standard bearing the Chi-Rho symbol, charged forward, and the Italians, led by Maxentius, were unable to withstand their advance. In this moment, Constantine, depicted here on horseback, has just defeated Maxentius' forces and is about to enter Rome. Maxentius, seen in the background, is fleeing the battlefield. The victory secured Constantine's position as the undisputed emperor of the Roman Empire. This image is a testament to the enduring power of the Roman military and the determination of Constantine to unify the empire. It also marks the beginning of Constantine's reign, which would see the adoption of Christianity as the state religion of the Roman Empire and the establishment of Constantinople as a major center of power. This print, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, provides a fascinating glimpse into the past and offers a visual representation of a pivotal moment in Roman history.
