๐Ÿช” #ReliefWednesday: The Arch of Constantine's attic panels show fascinating Roman imperial recycling. These reliefs, originally showing Marcus Aurelius addressing troops and sacrificing (2nd c. CE), were modified with Constantine's face: he was associating himself with "Good emperors" of Rome.
Perfect example of spolia used as political messaging in stone.
