Constantine crossed over the English Channel to the continent at Bononia, and historians have assumed he took with him all of the mobile troops left in Britain, thus denuding the province of any military protection and explaining their disappearance in the early fifth century.
Constantine's two generals Justinianus[?] and the Frank Nebiogastes[?], leading the vanguard of his forces, were defeated by Sarus[?], Stilicho's lieutenant, with Nebiogastes being first trapped in, then killed outside of, Valence.
Constantine's response to this tightening circle of enemies was a final desperate gamble: with the remaining troops left to him, he marched on Italy, encouraged by the entreaties of one Allobich[?], who wanted to replace Honorius with a more capable ruler.

 The Walls of Rome
The wall circuits of Rome provide a frame of reference for the city both as a measure of its growth and prosperity and also as a testament to the vicissitudes of a great city, its image of itself and the practical needs for security during times of travail and even during times of peace.
Rome soon outgrew the Republican walls and became so powerful a force in Italy and the Mediterranean that it felt no need for city walls until the late 4th century A.D. when the Barbarian pressure from the east began to threaten the empire.
Paul III's ambitious project to shorten the Aurelian wall and to convert it into a bastioned circuit was short-lived: only two short sections of this were built, one between Porta Appia and Porta Ostiense, and one on the Aventine hill.

 Clement of Rome (fl. c.96)
There is, indeed, no reason to abandon the oldest tradition of the Church, according to which, Clement was the third bishop of Rome after Peter; only it must be remembered that he was not a bishop in that sense of the word which the monarchical tendency of a later period developed.
This leads us to the conclusion that the consul and the bishop, Flavius Clemens and Clemens Romanus, were two different persons; which necessitates the admission that we know nothing of the personal life of Clemens Romanus but its approximate date and the position he occupied in the congregation.
It seems most probable that it originated in Rome, and between 130 and 140; but how it then came to be connected with the Epistle to the Corinthians by Clement as a second epistle must for the present be left unexplained.

 The Arch of Constantine - Bill Storage
Constantine knew of this piece by Cicero and quoted from it in his speech, Ad sanctorum coetum, thus it is likely that Constantine's usage (or, more accurately, the Senate's usage on Constantine's behalf) includes a nod to the god of the Christians and the god(s) of the pagans.
But to a greater degree, it reflects Constantine's boasting that he had known that the Maxentius problem would have to be addressed sooner or later, and that he was justified in having taken swift action to remedy this problem.
