As we gaze upon the engraving of the Arch of Constantine in Rome, we are reminded of the grandeur and significance of this battle. It serves as a testament to Constantine's military prowess and his subsequent rise to power. The chromolitho prints further emphasize the divine intervention that played a crucial role in this battle.

Lastly, we have "The Donation of Constantine, " an anonymous piece illustrating how he bestowed vast territories upon Pope Sylvester I.
