Archaeologists have discovered remarkable physical evidence of Constantine’s defining victory at the Milvian Bridge
A few years ago, an open-air food market I frequented near the Milvian Bridge in Rome was moved a short distance to a covered site where it is part of a shopping complex. Only recently I discovered the archaeological importance of that site, which convinced me Rome sometimes forgets its past or does not want to remember it – even when it is of global significance.
During excavations by the Rome Archaeological Authority before the shopping complex was built, remains were found of a clash that determined the course of Christianity: the battle won by Constantine on October 28, 312, against a rival for command of the Roman Empire.
