I like to imagine this is how ridiculous the Praetorian Guard must've looked when they threw their lot in with Maxentius
Exclusive from @nbcnews.com: Pentagon leaders are considering a recruiting campaign centered around Charlie Kirk. Possible slogans discussed include "Charlie has awakened a generation of warriors" and there's talk of using TPUSA chapters as recruitment centers. www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

The colossal - 2.5 m - marble head of Constantine, known as the Statua Colossale di Costantino I.
It formed part of a monumental seated statue, estimated to be 12 m tall, originally situated in an apse of the Basilica of Maxentius in the Forum Romanum.

These photos show the interior of the mausoleum of Romulus, son of Roman emperor, Maxentius. He died in AD 309. It is located in the Maxentian imperial complex and faces the Appian way. The imperial palace and circus also survive in a ruined state.

☸️ Luckily Catherine was spared the torment of being tortured between 4 spiky wheels when they were magically destroyed by jet-propelled angels. 🚀 👼 Read more about the fresco series on St. Catherine by Spinello 👇 ideasroadshow.substack.com/p/three-hidd...

Colossal bronze head of Emperor #Constantine, probably cast soon after his death (AD 337).
On 28th Oct., AD 312, he defeated Maxentius at Rome’s Milvian Bridge, after a ‘vision’ of the #ChiRho persuaded him to fight under the Christian god’s symbol. Despite later reversals, #Christianity grew.

The remains of the villa of the emperor Maxentius on the via Appia. Not long after this he’d die fighting Constantine and Rome would turn Christian. #Rome
