The Basilica of Maxentius and Constantine is located amongst the impressive remains of the Roman Forum in Rome. The Roman Forum, located between Palatine Hill and Capitoline Hill, is the oldest part of the city, and consists of an interesting array of buildings from Ancient Rome, of which the Basilica of Maxentius and Constantine is the largest. The remains of the building now consist just of the northern aisle, but this is enough to take your imagination back to its former glory back in 312 AD. The work on the basilica was started by the emperor Maxentius and was finished by Constantine a few years later, after he defeated Maxentius during the battle of the Milvian Bridge. This building was the last non-Christian building to be built in the Roman Forum and is found due north of the Arch of Titus. On the grounds of the basilica you can see a statue of Constantine, pieces of which are also found in the Palazzo dei Conservatori in the Capitoline Museums.

La Basílica de Majencio y Constantino está ubicada en Roma, entre las impresionantes ruinas del Foro Romano, situado entre el Monte Palatino y el Campidoglio. Es la parte más antigua de la ciudad y comprende un interesante conjunto de edificios de la antigua Roma, de los cuales la Basílica de Majencio y Constantino es el más grande. Los restos que permanecen en pie del edificio son sólo los del ala norte, aunque son suficientes para hacerse una idea de su antigua gloria en el año 312 a.C. La construcción de la basílica fue iniciada por el emperador Majencio y Constantino la terminó unos años más tarde, tras derrotar al propio a Majencio en la batalla del Puente Milvio. Este edificio fue el último no cristiano que se construyó en el Foro Romano y está ubicado al norte del Arco de Tito. En la base de la basílica se puede admirar una estatua de Constantino, piezas de la cual se encuentran también en el Palazzo dei Conservatori, en los Museos Capitolinos.
