Légende

Remains of the Basilica of Maxentius and Constantine on the Via Sacra, Rome, between 1870-1880. View from the Roman Forum from the southwest. The dominant feature in the frame is an ancient basilica in the form of a hall (sic). The preserved part has three naves and a barrel vault. Intended for public meetings, it was built in the early 4th century by Maxentius. The work was usurped by Constantine, whose large statue was placed in the apse. In the foreground, on the axis of the basilica, a non-preserved modern brick gate preceded by a balustrade with a balustrade, next to a walled depression in the ground. On the left, a non-existent single-story building obscuring the arcades of a medieval portico (visible today). On the right, the facade (1615) of the church of St. Frances of Rome (d. 1444), designed by Carlo Lombardi, on the site of the temple of Santa Maria Nuova, modernized (c860) by Nicholas I the Great.
