In this epic historical cinematic you will experience the battle of the Milvian Bridge in 312 AD between the forces of Constantine and those of Maxentius. This battle is known as a pivotal battle leading to the Roman Empire's first steps toward adopting the Christianity faith. Constantine wanted to become emperor of the Western Roman Empire by conquering Rome. But he had to defeat Maxentius, the existing emperor. The war culminated at the Milvian bridge at the river Tiber where Maxentius brought 30, 000 troops and Constantine had around 25, 000. The day before the battle in 312 AD, Constantine had a vision, perceiving in the sky a luminous X-shaped cross, crossed by a P (designating Christ) and surrounded by the Latin phrase, ''in hoc signo vinces'' (by this sign, you will conquer. Seeing this as divine intervention and a sign from God, he immediately ordered to have the shield of his troops painted with this symbol. Maxentius built a pontoon bridge to help with the crossing of the river and started leading his troops on the other side. Constantine was waiting on the other side of the river and seeing that Maxentius' formation was too close with their backs to the river, he immediately attacked with his left cavalry flank. Soon after, the center legionnaires engaged in battle. The left charge of the cavalry pushed back Maxentius' flank but was supported by reserves who then counter-attacked. At the same time, Constantine was assaulted on the right side of the battlefield with his cavalry contingent. After having reinforced his left flank against Maxentius' counter-attack, Constantine was able to push back both of his enemy's cavalry on the flanks and pursued them towards the river. Then, Maxentius' infantry reserves started fleeing back in panic, trying to cross the river. Constantine took advantage of this and slaughtered the fleeing troops. While some of Maxentius' troops succeeded in crossing the river, many perished and Maxentius got thrown into the water and drowned.

Oracle: well. Maxentius is the enemy of the Rome you see.
Augur: yeah, Constantine is much better fit for an Imperial job

Did any of the Praetorians or infantry make it back to Rome and while it seems logical to assume, I try not too. If they were able to flee did they use Via Flaminia I know Constantine was generous in his treatment of soldiers after the battle, but was curious as to how many of Maxentius's troops actually survived if they were recorded. Thanks for a great video.

This is the perfect blend of narrative, battle scenes, and mappings.
The narrative explanation for the battle scenes is exemplary and helps the overall understanding of what is happening in the video.
Excellent video my friend!

The morale of this story is, DO NOT let your enemy cross a river uncontested.
Second morale if you are outnumbered build a better defense, or go guerilla tactic.
