The aim of this article is to show how during Constantine the Great’s reign the reconstruction of memory was locally based. In particular, I will focus on Panegyricus Latinus, XII(9) [= IX(12) CUF] to demonstrate how it was the result of a pagan Gallic perspective. The usage of recent past acted by the rhetorician in his narration of Milvian Bridge events proves that, in age of transitions, the reconstruction of Constantine’s victory was the result of different political agents.
