Emperor Nerva Statue Glevum became a colony for the settlement of veterans at the end of the 1st century. The date of foundation of the colonia at Glevum can be fairly accurately assigned due to an inscription on the tombstone of a soldier found in Rome (see below). The inscription describes him as Nervia Glevi or "from Nerva's Glevum", which indicates that the colonia at Glevum was founded in the reign of the emperor Nerva, who reigned for a short period of sixteen months between 96AD and 98AD. A modern statue of the emperor Nerva on horseback stands just outside the entrance to the Eastgate Shopping Centre, in the same place where pieces of a bronze equestrian statue have been recovered. In 2002, Gloucester Civic Trust erected a bronze statue of Emperor Nerva, who is acknowledged as the founder of the city in around AD97. The equestrian statue was sculpted by the world-renowned Anthony Stones and cast at Pangolin’s foundry in Chalford.
