In 1998 York Civic Trust commissioned a highly acclaimed statue of the first Christian Roman emperor, to stand alongside York Minster, near the South Transept. The location was highly appropriate, because Constantine was proclaimed Emperor in York in AD306, on the death of his father Constantius here. The Roman Legionary Headquarters was only a few metres away - under the Minster. A column from the Headquarters has been excavated and re-erected in the same area.
The renowned sculptor, Philip Jackson, took great pains to research the clothing, seating and armour of the period, and gave much thought about how to portray the Emperor. The result is a fascinating medley of fact and conjecture. The battle-hardened warrior sits in conciliatory manner looking down upon his broken sword, which forms the shape of a cross. By this simple artifice, Jackson symbolises the fact that Constantine made Christianity an acceptable religion of the Roman Empire.
The Arch of Constantine is located between the Arch of Titus and the Circus Maximus, along the road where the Triumphal Parades passed. It is the largest honorary arch still existing and the last great political monument of the city.
It was dedicated to Constantine by the Senate in 315 AD to commemorate his victory over Maxentius in the battle of the Milvian Bridge which took place 3 years earlier. Reliefs from monuments erected by Trajan, Hadrian and Marcus Aurelius were used in the decoration of this Arch. This choice of materials to adorn a monument with a clear symbolic significance was not fortuitous.
These are the remaining fragments of a colossal statue of the Emperor Constantine that originally stood in the Basilica of Maxentius in the Roman Forum. They are now on display at the Capitoline Museums in Rome.
L’écorce
Oh mon vieil ami parle moi encore
Guide mes pensées comme autrefois
Que renaissent tes feuilles rouge et or
Pour que je m’enracine dans ta loi
Oh mon vieil ami je m’accroche à tes branches
J’implore ta sagesse et ta pitié sans honte
Pour moi l’heure n’est plus à la revanche
Ta sève nourricière d’une jouvence j’affronte
La caresse dure de l’écorce
Sonne le temps du divorce...

in Hell. This is Constantine and in the process of the movie by the same name, he makes at least on excursion into Hell. The only thing I have to say about Constantine is, "if you liked The DaVinci Code, Angels and Demons or The Exorcist, Constantine should be a 'must see' for you." Here are pertinent links. i watched a DVD my son brought me, but the movie is available at all the usual sources. My son bought the DVD at Blockbusters. Links ...
