Arch of Constantine - Today	ARCH OF CONSTANTINE The Arch of Constantine produces the liveliest impression; we admire without analyzing it. Perhaps it wants solidity, but it fascinates by its grandeur, and by the armony of its proportions. It is the finest of the three, exclaim nearly all travellers; yet scarcely any of them have examined its details sufficiently to remember them. Perhaps its chief defects is the abuse of richness. It would be impossible to enumerate here its statues, medallions, bas-reliefs, and inscriptions, all of which, comparatively well preserved, go to make it one of the most interesting structures in Rome.
