The '''Battle of the [[Milvian Bridge]]''' took place on [[October 28]], [[312]], between the [[Roman Emperor]]s [[Constantine I]] and [[Maxentius]]. Constantine won the battle and started on the path that led him to end the [[Tetrarchy]] and become the sole ruler of the [[Roman Empire]]. |

The underlying cause of the battle were the rivalries inherent in [[Diocletian]]'s Tetrarchy System. Once the strong Diocletian stepped down, the weaker rulers who took over began squabble over control of the [[Roman Empire]] almost immediately. Although Constantine was the son of the western emperor [[Constantius Chlorus]], the system in place at the time, the ''[[tetrarchy]]'', didn't necessarily provide for hereditary succession. When Constantius died on [[July 25]], [[306]], his father's troops proclaimed Constantine as [[Augustus (honorific)|Augustus]] in [[Eboracum]] (York) . In Rome, the favorite was Maxentius, the son of Constantius' predecessor [[Maximian]], who was made emperor on [[October 28]] of the same year. |
|||
====Literature==== |
|||
By 312, the two men were engaged in open hostility with one another, although they were brothers-in‑law through Constantine's marriage to [[Fausta]], sister of Maxentius. |

In the spring of 312, [[Constantine I|Constantine]] gathered his forces and decided to settle the dispute by force. He easily overran northern [[Italy]], and reached [[Rome]] at the end of October 312 on the [[Via Flaminia]].

===Business=== |
|||
It was expected that [[Maxentius]] would remain within Rome and endure a siege, as he already had successfully employed this strategy during the invasions of [[Flavius Valerius Severus|Severus]] and [[Galerius]] in [[307]] and [[308]], respectively. He had already brought large amounts of food to the city in preparation. Surprisingly, he decided otherwise and met Constantine in open battle. Ancient sources about the event attribute this decision either to [[Miracle|divine intervention]] (e.g. Lactantius, Eusebius) or [[superstition]] (e.g. Zosimus). They also note that the day of the battle was the same as the day of his accession (October 28), which was generally thought to be a good omen. Lactantius also reports that the populace supported Constantine with acclamations during circus games, though it isn't clear how reliable his account of the events is. |

[[Maxentius]] chose to make his stand in front of the Milvian Bridge, a stone bridge that carries the [[Via Flaminia]] road across the [[Tiber]] River into Rome (the bridge stands today at the same site, somewhat remodelled, named in Italian ''Ponte Milvio'' or sometimes ''Ponte Molle'', ''soft bridge''). Holding it was crucial if Maxentius was to keep his rival out of Rome, where the [[Roman Senate|Senate]] would surely favour whoever held the city. As Maxentius had probably partially destroyed the bridge during his preparations for a siege, he had a wooden or [[pontoon bridge]] constructed to get his army across the river. |
|||
===Health Science=== |
|||
The next day, the two armies clashed, Constantine emerged victorious. Already known as a skillful general, Constantine first launched his cavalry at the cavalry of Maxentius and broke them. Constantine's infantry then advanced, most of Maxentius's troops fought well but they began to be pushed back toward the Tiber; Maxentius decided to retreat and make another stand at Rome itself. But there was only one escape route, via the bridge, Constantine's men inflicted heavy losses on the retreating army. Finally, the provisional bridge set up alongside the Milvian Bridge, over which many of the troops were escaping, collapsed, and those men stranded on the north bank of the Tiber were either taken prisoner or killed.<ref>Zosimus, 2.16.2-4</ref> Maxentius' [[Praetorian Guard]] seem to have made a stubborn stand on the northern bank of the river..<ref>Nixon ''et al.'', p. 320</ref> Maxentius was among the dead, having drowned in the river while trying to swim across it in a desperate bid to escape. His body was found and his head paraded through the city during Constantine's entry into Rome as proof of his death. |

==Vision of Constantine== |
|||
* [[Peter Aduja]] – State Legislature, Hawaii. |
|||
It is commonly stated that on the evening of [[October 27]], with the armies preparing for battle, Constantine had a vision which lead him to fight under the protection of the Christian God. The details of that vision, however, differ between the sources reporting it. |
|||
* [[Christopher Cabaldon]] – Mayor of [[West Sacramento, California]], born in 1965. |

|||
===Religion=== |
|||
[[Lactantius]] states that, in the night before the battle, Constantine was commanded in a dream to "delineate the heavenly sign on the shields of his soldiers" (''de mort. pers.'' 44,5). He obeyed and marked the shields with a sign "denoting Christ". Lactantius describes that sign as a "staurogram", or a [[Christian cross|Latin cross]] with its upper end rounded in a P-like fashion. There is no certain evidence that Constantine ever used that sign, opposed to the better known [[chi-rho]] sign described by [[Eusebius]]. |
|||
* [[Oscar A. Solis]] – First Filipino American Roman Catholic bishop in the United States. |
|||
===Television and Film=== |
|||
From Eusebius, two accounts of the battle survive. The first, shorter one in the ''Ecclesiastical History'' leaves no doubt that God helped Constantine but doesn't mention any vision. In his later ''Life of Constantine'', Eusebius gives a detailed account of a vision and stresses that he had heard the story from the emperor himself. According to this version, Constantine with his army was marching somewhere (Eusebius doesn't specify the actual location of the event, but it clearly isn't in the camp at Rome), when he looked up to the sun and saw a cross of light above it, and with it the Greek words "Εν Τούτῳ Νίκα". The Latin translation is ''[[in hoc signo vinces]]'' — "In this (sign), conquer". At first he was unsure of the meaning of the apparition, but in the following night he had a dream in which Christ explained to him that he should use the sign against his enemies. Eusebius then continues to describe the [[labarum]], the military standard used by Constantine in his later wars against [[Licinius]], showing the chi-rho sign. |

Those two accounts can hardly be reconciled with each other, though they have been merged in popular notion into Constantine seeing the Chi-Rho sign at the evening before battle. Both authors agree that the sign wasn't readily understandable to denote Christ, which corresponds to the fact that there is no certain evidence of the use of chi-rho as a Christian sign before Constantine. Its first appearance is on a Constantinian silver coin from c. 315, which proves that Constantine did use the sign at that time, though not very prominently. He made extensive use of the Chi-Rho and the Labarum only later in the conflict with Licinius. |
|||
====Reality Show==== |
|||
As the god [[Sol Invictus]], the Unconquered Sun, featured prominently on Constantinian coins and monuments in the years before and after the battle, the vision has been interpreted in a solar context (e.g. as a [[Halo (optical phenomenon)|halo]] phenomenon), which would have been reshaped to fit with the Christian beliefs of the later Constantine. |
