Ponte Milvio is one of the most important bridges in Rome. It was built by the consul C. Claudius Nero in 206 b.c. after he had defeated the Carthaginan army.In 110 b.c.the consul M. Emilius Scaurus built a new bridge made of stone in the same position and demolished the old one. In 312 a.d. Constantine the Great defeated his stronger enemy Massentius near this bridge, which suddenly became famous. During the Middle Ages the bridge was renovated by a monk named Acuzio and in 1429 Pope Martin V asked a famous architect, Francesco da Genazzano, to repair the collapsing bridge. During the 18th and 19th Century the bridge was modified by two artists: Valadier and Pigiani. Now the bridge is sill there after more than 2000 years of history.

Probabilmente il ponte, a quell'epoca era ancora di legno e si pensa che fu eretto da un tal Molvius (che, secondo quanto attestano le fonti, faceva parte della gens Molvia).
