This walk will look for evidence for how and where the Romans buried their dead in, or rather outside, Eboracum, looking at Roman burial practices and what this tells us about the way the Romans thought about death and the afterlife. The walk will include a number of the most interesting and important Roman cemeteries and reflect on the locations, the evidence recovered from each place and what it tells us about the topography of Roman York (Eboracum). With John Oxley (City Archaeologist, City of York Council).

This event is part of the Eboracum Roman Festival.

The walk will start in Exhibition Square and end at Blossom Street.
