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.
