Ponte Milvio, known as the Milvian (or Mulvian) Bridge, is an iconic bridge located in Rome, Italy. Built by consul Gaius Claudius Nero in 206 BC and later modified by two architects, Giuseppe Valadier and Domenico Pigiani, it holds plenty of historical importance - from letters of Catiline intercepted by Cicero, to Constantine's conquest leading to imperial rule in 312 AD. Enjoyed by both locals and visitors alike, it’s now a popular landmark for couples to come and demonstrate their love in the form of padlock graffiti. Meanwhile, football supporters of rival teams beware – the bridge is also known as a location of violence amongst some hooligan Ultras of A.S. Roma!
