This image depicts the imperial scepter of Roman Emperor Maxentius (r. 306-312 CE), a significant historical artifact. It is notable as the only surviving imperial scepter from ancient Rome. The scepter, topped with a crystal sphere, was discovered in 2006 near the Palatine Hill in Rome, alongside several imperial banners.

The Palatine Hill was an important site in ancient Rome, often associated with imperial power, and the discovery of these objects adds important archaeological insight into the symbolism and authority of Roman emperors. Maxentius was a notable figure, remembered for his rivalry with Constantine the Great, which culminated in the famous Battle of the Milvian Bridge in 312 CE.
