Historical pageant York 1909 - reconstitution historique de la ville de York 1909. Cet objet a probablement été produit, lors de la reconstitution historique du 26 au 31 Juillet 1909, (Cf. Johnson, B. & Co. (1909). The book of the York pageant, 1909: A dramatic representation of the city's history in seven episodes, from B.C. 800-A.D. 1644. York: Johnson.) ; peut-être que les jetons accompagnent cette publication?
J'ai repris le descriptif des deux scènes relatives à la période Constantinienne. http://www.historicalpageants.ac.uk/pageants/1354/
Episode II: Altera Roma
Scene V. AD 294
Women are chatting excitedly at the riverside; they are first to see the arrival of Carausius by ship. They call out 'Woe! Woe! The Pirate!' Britons and Romans respond and rush to arms but are easily overpowered by Carausius and his men, including his associate Alectus. Carausius declares that 'Rome grows weak. She is tottering to her fall. Wherefore here and now, I seize the sovereignty'. Carausius is hailed as emperor. Alectus demands his reward and is dismissed contemptuously by Carausius. Alectus responds by stabbing Carausius and declaring himself emperor. A messenger enters stating that Constantius Chlorus is on his way. Alectus and the soldiers depart. The Britons discuss the situation; it is of no interest to them who rules from Rome. A messenger returns from the battle stating that both Alectus and Constantius Chlorus are dead. The new ruler is Constantius' son—Constantinus—whose mother was a Briton. The Britons are surprised and happy that they will now be ruled by one of their own kind. The scene ends with the arrival of Constantinus.
Scene VI. AD 306
Constantinus enters in pomp, accompanied by a large company of attendants including senators and magistrates, nobles, ladies, dancers, and also some captives in chains. The procession approaches an altar where priests wait. Constantinus calls for thanks to be given for the recent victory; a 'Hymn to Apollo' is sung. Then a 'lowly and humble' procession approaches; in this are the bishop Eborius and two attendants—they chant the 23rd Psalm. A Roman priest calls for the Christians to be slain but Constantinus denies this and asks to hear more about the 'God of Love' from Eborius. All then exit.
