Relief from Constantine period is highlighted
Reliefs from constantine’s era • Inscriptions over the roundels commemorate the 10 th anniversary of Constantine’s rule in 315 AD (this is where the dates for the arch come from)
• The long narrow frieze below the roundels shows episodes in Constantine’s life • West – constantine’s army leaving Milan • South – seige of Verona -Battle at Milvian bridge where Maxentius died • East – Constantine enters Rome in triumph • North – Constantine addresses the people in Roman Forum (Oratio) - Constantine distributes money to them (Donatio) showing his generosity
• On the east and west sides of the arch (the short sides) are two roundels. • West – Moon (Luna) setting • East – sun (Sol) rising in a chariot …Both carved in high relief
Also from constantine • Winged figures of victory in spandrels of central arch • Personifications of the 4 seasons beneath figures of victory • River gods in spandrels of side arches • Pedestals of column bases decorated with Victory, Roman Soliders & Barbarian captives
Why use sculpture from other emperors? • Taking reliefs from earlier monuments shows an element of nostalgia for Rome’s ‘golden age’of prosperity, wealth, success, military victories and when the Empire was at its height. This is one of the reasons for the choice of the monuments used. • It linked Constantine with previous good emperors and their qualities • There was possible a decline in skilled sculptors
Stylistic features • On panels of Trajan there is use of perspective, front figures carved in high relief, and back in low • Marcus Aurelius reliefs are very static, formal composition & less figures. This is because they have a symbolic function representing ideas & virtues. Marcus Aurelius is positioned higher so it draws attention to him • Hadrian’s roundels are very simple – only a few characters & depth achieved with high & low relief • Constantine’s panels do not have the same attention to detail or modelling. The decoration is very flat & shallow
Constantine Relief donatio Emperor sitting on a raised platform to emphasis his importance & surrounded by ministers and Advisers, (all dressed in toga contablulata) A lot of movement in their heads. Oratio: Statues Of Marcus Aurelius & Hadrian feature In this relief as background. (Representing Virtue and piety, as these emperors both Had strong reputations for having these qualities)
