Eboracum, Roman military settlement in York, England
The fortress of Eboracum occupied 50 acres along the banks of the River Ouse, featuring stone walls, military barracks, and administrative buildings.
The Ninth Legion established Eboracum in 71 AD as a strategic base, which later became the capital of Britannia Inferior under Emperor Septimius Severus.
The settlement included thermal baths, temples, and workshops where artisans produced goods, reflecting the integration of Roman customs in northern Britain.
Archaeological remains of Eboracum lie beneath modern York, with Roman walls and the Multiangular Tower accessible in the Museum Gardens.
Constantine the Great received his imperial title at Eboracum in 306 AD, marking the location where a future emperor would transform the Roman Empire.
