AssignmentConsider the use of spolia[The word comes from the Latin meaning spoils. It refers to repurposed materials in new construction, often it is architectural and sculptural.] on the Arch of Constantine, Rome, ca. 312–315 CE, and explore the significance of using pieces from other Roman monuments erected by previous emperors. What implication exists in the refashioning of the portraits? And do we have any examples of modern-day artistic appropriation for a similar goal? Cite at least one scholarly source to support your analysis.Write an analysis that identifies the work of art selected and addresses the points put forward above, supported by at least one scholarly source. Your analysis should be about three paragraphs in length.NotesConstantineConstantius I, (Flavius Valerius Constantius) the “Caesar of the East,” died in 306. His son, Constantine (known to us as Constantine the Great) rose to power as civil war broke out. Constantine waged war in Italy and defeated Maxentius, one of three remaining tetrarchs, at the Battle of the Milvian Bridge in 312. Right before this battle, Constantine claimed to have a vision of a cross, a symbol of Christianity, and heard a voice say, “By this sign, you shall conquer.” Constantine attributed his victory at the Battle of the Milvian Bridge to the God of the Christians.After Constantine’s victory, the Roman senate commissioned a triumphal arch to commemorate the event. The sculptural decoration was created from bits and pieces of previous Roman monuments erected by Trajan, Hadrian, and Marcus Aurelius.Sculpted heads of previous emperors were refashioned into the likeness of Constantine; the resulting program seems a bizarre pastiche of earlier monuments and contemporary additions. This practice is called spolia and repurposes parts of existing buildings or decorative sculpture in new monuments.The three-arched monument, although not the first Roman triumphal arch to have three by any means, was later equated by some to the Trinity (the name of the nature of the Christian God comprised of three parts), and is notable here as a precursor to the triple-door facade of early Christian basilicas.
