EQUUS CONSTANTINI
an equestrian statue of Constantine in the forum
(Not. Reg. VIII; Eins. I. 7; 7. 8), to which the dedicatory inscription
(
CIL vi. 1141) is thought to belong. It may have stood on a low
pedestal that still exists near the eastern end of the forum area. This
base stands directly on the travertine pavement and is made of bricks
on which blocks of travertine and fragments of marble columns were
placed: the construction is wretched even for the time of Constantine
(
Jord. i. 2. 187-9;
Mde. 1900, 209-222;
Mitt. 1905, 74-5; Thed. 167,
220, 266; HC 140;
CIL vi. 31246; EE iii. p. 256).
