The imperial sceptre of Roman Emperor Maxentius, the only surviving example known, holds significant historical value. Its discovery near the base of the Palatine Hill in 2006, alongside several imperial banners, provides a fascinating glimpse into the pomp and grandeur of ancient Rome. Topped with a crystal sphere, this sceptre likely symbolized the emperor’s authority and power over the Roman Empire during his reign from 306 to 312 CE. The find adds to our understanding of the material culture and regalia associated with Roman imperial rule, offering a tangible connection to a pivotal period in history.
