In Texas this signposted me off the interstate, whilst on the border of the Spanish states of Navarra and La Rioja, I’m such a saint a town was named after me. My name often raises a smile because of it’s similarity to one of the most famous landmarks of Roman Civilisation in the wilds of Northern England. A wall was built by a Roman Emperor of Spanish origin but there is little likeness judging by these busts held in european museums.
