5. Constantine's Victory over Maxentius (detail)
by PIERO DELLA FRANCESCA, Fresco
The right-hand portion of the battle scene is badly damaged. Of the figure of Maxentius only a piece of the hat and a fragment of the torso remain; he is wearing a coat of mail with a red surcoat. Only one of the soldiers in flight has remained nearly completely intact. A small part of his head with the metal helmet is missing. He looks back as he is crossing the river and his face is marked by fear.
