Abstract

The Authors propose a new hypothesis on the authorship of the four-faced arch erected in Rome between Velabrum and Forum Boarium and commonly known as the Arch of Janus. Traditionally the arch is attributed to Constantine; recently it has been proposed to refer it to his son Constantius II, but these hypotheses do not seem the only possible ones. After an analysis of the archaeological and historical evidence, the Authors conclude that the arch may have been erected at the end of the short reign of Maxentius.
