This is Constantine the Great.
The same statue as I posted yesterday but from a different point of view.
He resides right outside York Minster and I thought he deserved a place in this gallery.
In 306, the Roman Emperor Constantius Chlorus died while campaigning against the Picts beyond Hadrian’s Wall.
He was succeeded by his son, Flavius Valerius Aurelius Constantinus, known more commonly as Constantine I or Constantine the Great.
He was declared emperor in Eboracum, capital of the province of Britannia Secunda, known today as York.
Most of the Empire’s provinces accepted his rule.
