Description

PLEASE, NO invitations or self promotions, THEY WILL BE DELETED. My photos are FREE to use, just give me credit and it would be nice if you let me know, thanks.

The Basilica of Constantine or Aula Palatina is part of a Roman palace complex that was built by the emperor Constantine (306–337 AD) around 310 AD.

The Basilica, Constantine's throne room, is the largest surviving single-room structure from Roman times.

The Romans wanted the architecture to express the magnificence and might of the emperor.

Unbelievable size: 26.05 m (85.5 ft) wide, 33 m (108 ft) high, and 67 m (220 ft) long.

This depth is magnified by an optical illusion - both the windows of the apse as well as the niches underneath become progressively smaller towards the middle, thus enhancing the impression of length.
