The Battle of the Milvian Bridge, fought in AD 312, was one of the most decisive engagements in Roman history. This battle marked the climax of the Roman civil war between Constantine and Maxentius, determining the fate of Rome and reshaping the future of the Roman Empire.
As Constantine advanced on Rome, Maxentius chose to confront him north of the city at the Milvian Bridge. What followed was not merely a clash of armies, but a confrontation of legitimacy, propaganda, and imperial ambition. Constantine’s victory led to the death of Maxentius, the dissolution of the Praetorian Guard, and Constantine’s rise as sole ruler of the Western Roman Empire.
This episode explores the military movements, command decisions, and strategic context of the battle, while also examining the famous vision and symbolism associated with Constantine and how it was later used as political and religious propaganda. Rather than myth, this documentary focuses on what can be established from ancient sources and modern scholarship.
The Battle of the Milvian Bridge did not just decide a civil war—it altered Roman governance, imperial ideology, and the relationship between power and belief for centuries to come.
