Scene Description: Source caption: " Constantine Basilica in the German town Trier. Part of an engraving from the 1646 book "Topographia Archiepiscopatuum Moguntinensis", which probably relied on a woodcut from 1548/1550. The coloration is not from the original engraving and was added to highlight the building."
