I recently spent a couple of weeks in the UK and Paris, and fell in love with York, I could easily live there.

The statue of Constantine the Great is fascinating. Does anyone know where I can find more information on it and the artist who created it?

Very nicely done, would be nice if you would go see "the Queen", & have dinner with her & her Husband. And some Tea & Scones ...

English people dont know that England was a CRUCIAL Part of the Roman Empire for over 400 years. And York was one of the most important cities of the Roman Empire! Constantin the Greate was proclaimed Emperor of the Roman Empire in the City of York.

Salvatore Escoti I'm from close by and I won't lie.. I had no idea it had such history. Going in a few days though so it's good to learn.

@Biggest Natural Muscle Well, the WHOLE of England and Wales were. Londinium was so important to the Empire that it had one of the largest Amphitheatre, Theater and Bathhouses in the whole Empire. Just imagine they would find the London Roman Amphitheatre.. WOW, that would be a thing!

The Romans left Britain in the 4th century not the 7th, fool.
