The Arch of Constantine

The picture below is of the Arch of Constantine. The arch was built as a triumph arch to honor the emperor Constantine the Great on his win against Maxentius and to celebrate Constantine's 10 years of reign. The Roman Senate commissioned the arch to be built, and it was finished around 312 to 315 AD. The arch is also made up of statues and structures from earlier Roman triumphs dedicated to Trajan, Hadrian, and Marcus Aurelius. There are some theorists that think the arch was built in the time of Hadrian or Maxentius's rule.
