113e Sala de Constantino (Vista, e)

The image shows the monumental fresco cycle designed by Raphael and executed by his workshop, depicting the victory of Constantine the Great over Maxentius. The central battle scene is flanked by painted architectural niches containing seated popes and allegorical figures of virtues. The vaulted ceiling features a central perspective fresco by Tommaso Laureti showing a Christian cross replacing a fallen pagan idol in a classical setting.

The room represents the official narrative of the 'Christianization' of the Roman Empire, a central theme in Renaissance political theology and the concept of Translatio Imperii. It illustrates the synthesis of classical history and Christian triumph that informed the Neoplatonic worldview of the papal court.
