Légende

Ponte Molle - Rome, 1850. 'Outside the city walls, to the north, and about two miles up the Tiber, the stream is crossed by the famous Ponte Molle, the ancient Pons Milvius, so celebrated in Roman story. Here it was that Cicero caused to be arrested, according to a preconcerted scheme, the Allobrogian ambassadors, who were implicated in the conspiracy of Catiline; and it was at the Pons Milvius that Constantine the Great, hoisting the Christian standard or Labarum, completely routed the forces of his opponent Maxentius. The piers and arches are all that remain of the ancient structure, the battlements and upper works being modern'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
