What is Reimagining Roman Emperors in Art about?

The document discusses the iconography on the Arch of Constantine in Rome. It describes how designers reused salvaged materials from demolished buildings and monuments, recutting the heads of emperors like Trajan, Hadrian, and Marcus Aurelius to represent Constantine instead. This was done to associate Constantine with these previous good emperors and their virtues as successful rulers. A second objective was to connect Constantine with Augustus and ideals of respecting Republican traditions.
