Aldborough Roman Site, Roman archaeological site in North Yorkshire, England
The Aldborough Roman Site contains sections of defensive walls, towers, and two intact mosaic floor pavements from the ancient settlement of Isurium Brigantum.
The Romans established Isurium Brigantum in the second century as an administrative center for the Brigantes tribe, following their northern expansion into Britain.
The settlement developed from a military fort into a civilian town with stone buildings, decorated houses, and an amphitheater discovered through geomagnetic scanning in 2011.
English Heritage maintains the site and provides guided tours through the remains of this Roman town, which stood at the intersection of major Roman roads.
The excavated mosaics at Aldborough display geometric patterns in red, white and blue tesserae, representing the craftsmanship of Roman artisans in northern Britain.
