Bronze colossus of Constantine

Italy · built 400

The Capitoline Museums in Rome hold parts of a bronze colossus of Constantine. The colossal statue of a Roman emperor was likely made in the 4th century, but only fragments survive. It is usually interpreted as depicting Constantine the Great. The museum also holds fragments from an acrolithic Colossus of Constantine, an even larger marble statue once erected in the Basilica of Maxentius near the Forum Romanum, which are displayed in the courtyard of the museum's Palazzo dei Conservatori on the Capitoline Hill.
