Pertempuran Jambatan Milvian

Pertempuran Jambatan Milvian telah berlaku pada 28 Oktober, 312, di antara Maharaja Rom Constantine I dengan Maxentius. Kemenangan Constantine dalam pertempuran ini menandakan penamat kepada sistem Tetrarchy dan beliau kemudian menjadi pemimpin tunggal di Empayar Rom.

Berdasarkan pada periwayat seperti Eusebius, pertempuran ini menandakan permulaan pemelukan agama Kristian oleh Constantine. Eusebius menceritakan bahawa Constantine dan tenteranya mendapat visi bahawa Tuhan akan menjanjikan kemenangan sekiranya mereka mencalit labarum di atas bendera rasmi beliau. Pintu Gerbang Constantine telah dibina bagi meraikan kemenangan ini.
