Statue of Edward Stanley, Parliament Square

Statue of Emmeline Pankhurst, Manchester

A bronze statue of the Roman emperor Constantine, situated in front of the York Minster, depicted seated on a throne in a regal posture, holding a sword. Statues of Roman emperors were deliberately iconic; they were part of a carefully cultivated image that was circulated throughout the empire. The head of Constantine that is available held at the York Museum possibly represents an early, unsettled stage of his iconography. Later, more developed statues, for instance that of the statue outside the Capitoline Museums, show him with distinctive bulging eyes, and also with some features adopted by emperors of previous dynasties, for example, the curly hair. Generations of artists have copied various parts of the Colossus of Constantine, now part of the Capitoline Museums. However, Jackson's seated statue deviates from most depictions of Roman Emperors - as men of action, the emperors were generally depicted in active, standing poses. A plaque installed near the statue reads: "CONSTANTINE THE GREAT 274-337 Near this place, Constantine was proclaimed Roman Emperor in 306. His recognition of the civil liberties of his Christian subjects, and his own conversion to the faith, established the religious foundations of Western Christendom."
