About this item:

When soldiers of the Roman 9th Legion arrived in AD 70, they built a fortress and this huge military camp formed the foundation of the modern city of York. Roman legionaries were garrisoned in the city for over three centuries and a huge provincial town grew up around them. Eboracum was a city at the edge of the Empire. The city was a thriving metropolitan hub and a cultural and technological boiling pot, as well as being a seat of power visited by Roman Emperors. Author Adam Parker introduces the archaeology of Eboracum, discussing the people, the places, and the objects in an accessible way, illustrated throughout.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic look at Roman York!

P.D.C. · 5 November 2020

A brilliant look at the archaeology of Roman York. Each chapter covers a theme (religion for example) and uses the fascinating and extensive collection housed in the Yorkshire Gardens Museum as evidence. I thought I knew the history and archaeology of Roman York but this book taught me a few things. A great read.
