York
Eburacum
SE6052
Legionary
fortress, 20.2 ha, built circa 70 AD by Legio IX Hispana; Legio VI
Victrix replaced them circa 122 AD.
Legio VI remained at York until the last days of Empire in
Britain, in the early 5th century. The construction of this
fort saw the start of occupation at the site, which has been populated
ever since. A Roman colonia
developed on the south bank of the Ouse.

The
first fort on the site comprised of a single ditch and rampart with a
timber palisade interrupted by timber towers, the area enclosed was
about 50 acres. Stone defences replaced timber in the reign of Trajan in
about the year 108, it is the last known act of the IXth Legion.
Emperor Hadrian replaced the IXth with the Vith in the year 122.
A bridge over the river Ouse emanated from the southwest side
which was a strongly built mass of stone.
York was the Imperial headquarters while emperor Septimus Severus
conducted his campaign against the Caledonians in the year 209.
He died there in 211. |

In
306, another emperor, Constantius also died at York, the sixth legion,
still the garrison, proclaimed his son Constantine emperor.
It was he who subsequently built the multi-angular towers, which
fronted the river Ouse, of which one remains.
