This is a sculpture of Constantine I in York, England near the spot where he was proclaimed emperor. The words at the base of the sculpture are "By this Sign Conquer," referring to his use of the christian cross as the sign of the empire. The sword in the sculpture is broken to symbolically form a cross.
The plaque beside the statue reads:
-
- Constantine the Great (274-337)
-
- Near this place Constantine the Great 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.
-
- This statue was provided by the York Civic Trust and unveiled by the Rt. Revd. and Rt. Hon. Lord Coggan DD. former Archbishop of York and of Canterbury on 25 July 1998.
The York Minster Cathedral is in the background.
