I have a book "The Colosseum, By Peter Quennell", which on page 70 has three pictures from the same painting showing Constantine I, one panel showing him sleeeping, the second showing him seeing folks off at the Milvan bridge with a lance ( no armour
) and the third related to his queen? Lovely blue tunics & waht look like decorated wands or swords carried by the queens/empresses retinue.
This book can be aquired from Amazon for around $.50 to $6.00 so may be worth tagging onto another order just for this illustration.
I dont have access to a scanner so can't help but wondered if anyone esle knows the picture and can privide it for our delectation?

Hi
It shows some red tunics too, but it is a ninth century illustration.

Sorry,
I meant to say that I haven't had time to photoshop the pics from the Arch of Constantine. They need a bit of sharpening. The originals are in RAW format if anyone needs them. I've got a few shots from the 5th century mosaics in Santa Maria Maggigore but they definitely need to be photoshopped first to correct angles and lighting.
I had a great set from the Arch of Galerius when it was being cleaned in 1999 and I was allowed up the scaffolding, but unfortunately some sod stole my rucksack with the 20 rolls of slides on the way home.
I'll post more images onto Flickr as time permits.

I'd have preferred to use the stylus in such a way as to leave the culprit cursing.
