Discover the fascinating history of Roman York’s civil settlement. Occupying the area on the south-western side of the River Ouse, this was to become one of the most important cities in Roman Britain, with archaeological excavations uncovering evidence for substantial buildings containing elaborate mosaics, as well as bath-houses and temples. The discovery of workshops specialising in metal and leather working, and various other trades, provide us with an amazing insight into everyday life in this bustling city. With Mark Hackney (AOC Archaeology York).
