1914 Print Pons Milvius Milvian Padlock Bridge Ponte Rome Italy Tiber River XHD8 XAU8 Bell Boy Vintage AdvertisingThis is an original 1914 black and white halftone print of the Pons Milvius or Milvian Bridge in Rome, Italy. In antiquity, this bridge was the famed location of a decisive battle between Emperors Constantine I and Maxentius for control of Rome. Today, however, it is very popular with the youth or Rome, particularly couples as a new tradition has arisen where lovers will hang a padlock on the bridge and throw the key into the Tiber River below.
