Another monument did bring Constantine was the SERPENTINE COLUMN column located on the plug of Hipodrom .After of battles of Salamis and Plataea ,von by the Greeks over the Persians ,the first did melt the spoil of war to build a monument that positioned themselves in front of the temple of Apollo at Delphi (which we have seen the ruins ).This monument was made-up the three entwined serpents heads on which was placed a pot of gold. .The column,empty inside ,is 8 meters hight.The heads of snakes ,after he had twisted
36 times ,they separated and were facing three different directions.On the bodies of the snakes they were written the names Kingdoms of the Greek who had participated in the war,the everything was done under the able direction of the king of Sparta ,Pausanias ,hero of Plataea (479 BC )

Un altro monumento fatto portare da Costantino fu la COLONNA SERPENTINA situata sulla spina dell'Hipodrom .Dopo le battaglie vinte dai Greci sui Persiani ,i primi fecero fondere il bottino di guerra per realizzare un monumento che posizionarono di fronte al tempio di Apollo a Delfi( di cui abbiamo ammirato le rovine ) :Questo monumento era composto da 3 serpenti avvinghiati ,sulle quali teste era posizionata una pentola in oro . .La colonna ,vuota all'interno , è alta 8 metri . Le teste dei serpenti ,dopo che questi si erano incrociati 36 volte ,si separavano ed erano rivolte verso 3 direzioni differenti .Sui corpi dei serpenti erano iscritti i nomi dei regni Greci che avevano partecipato alla guerra. Il tutto sotto l'abile regia del re di Sparta,Pausania ,eroe di Platea (479 AC)
