History enthusiasts are marking the anniversary of the Battle of the Milvian Bridge, fought on 28 October 312 near Rome, where Constantine I defeated Maxentius and became sole Roman Emperor. The victory is often linked to Constantine's reported vision of a Christian symbol before the battle, a turning point that led to the legalization of Christianity and reshaped the Roman Empire, with echoes still visible in Istanbul today.
