Statue of Emperor Constantine, York 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."

Statue of John Lawrence, Derry-Londonderry One of two statues of Lawrence by Joseph Edgar Boehm. The statue was donated to India for Queen Victoria's Jubilee in 1887 and was erected by Lahore High Court. The other statue of Lawrence in London served as a replacement for the one sent to India. After India and Pakistan achieved independence from Britain, the statue of Lawrence was removed from public view by the provincial government in 1950. The statue was then repatriated to Northern Ireland in 1962 and re-erected the following year at Foyle College in Derry-Londonderry, where it still stands in place today (although the site of the school has changed over time).

Statue of Robert Clive, in FCO London A marble statue of Robert Clive in hybrid Roman imperial outfit, modelled on Augustus Caesar, the greatest of all Roman emperors. Clive wears a cingulum militare, or a belt with hanging leather and metal straps, and sandals, to show that he is a soldier. However, on his upper body, he wears a toga, to show his concurrent civilian stature. A short straight sword is inexplicably tucked upside down under his right arm , while the left hand makes an oratorial gesture, presenting him as a philosopher. A shield with the head of Medusa is propped near his feet; since looking into Medusa's eyes was meant to turn the viewer to stone, Medusa shields were intended to be ritually protective in Roman iconography. This statue is therefore a knowledgeable but highly eclectic mix of Roman iconography, which tries to present Clive as a Roman hero, but in a manner that no Roman statue would ever be made. It was one of four marble statues commissioned by the British East India Company in the 1760s, and represented the rising British obsession with Roman-style statuary.

Statue of Robert Clive, Westminster This large bronze statue depicts Robert Clive in military uniform, atop a massive plinth. In the manner of classical Greek architecture, the undulating structure of the plinth prevents the viewer from focussing and draws attention instead to the principal figure, who looks away into the the distance with a grim expression. The figure wears well-worn boots, indicating battle experience, while the prominent stripes on the sleeves indicate achievement and rank. In one hand, the figure holds a curved Indo-Islamic ceremonial sword or talwar, signalling the conquest of India, while the other hand clutches rolled up papers, possibly underlining the legal title to possessions won by the sword. In front, the plinth merely describes the person depicted as 'Clive', indicating his self-explanatory eminence. Contradicting this, the three other sides of the plinth display narrative friezes in bas-relief, showcasing Clive's military and political achievements in India: at Arcot, Plassey and Allahabad. The Allahabad scene depicts Clive receiving the Grant of Diwani, mistitled as the Grant of Bengal, from the defeated Mughal emperor. In the bas-relief of this scene, based on Benjamin West's 1818 painting , the Mughal emperor fades into the background while Clive and his British companions are carved prominently, to emphasize their centrality to the story.
