CONSTANTINE THE GREAT IN LONDON A.D. 306
In the summer of A.D. 306, the
Roman Emperor, Constantius,
died at York, and his son Con-
stantine was proclaimed Em-
peror in his stead. Constantine
hurried southwards to secure
the loyalty of Gaul and must
have passed through London.
In the picture, the new Emperor
is seen riding down towards the
Thames after a civic reception
in the great hall 'or basilica
which can be seen behind him.
The remains of this basilica,
unearthed at various times in
Leadenhall Street and Cornhill,
show that it was probably the
largest Roman structure of its
kind north of the Alps, thus
bearing witness to the wealth
and importance of London in
Roman times.
