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.
Adam Parker is the Assistant Curator of Archaeology at the Yorkshire Museum and a PhD Student in Classical Studies with the Open University. He has worked on the public presentation of York’s incredible archaeological remains for many years and published several articles on his thesis subject: the archaeology of magic in Roman Britain.
