Roman Column

Photograph at the Roman Column bronze plaque

This Roman column stands as a tangible link to the enduring legacy of Roman Britain, situated close by York Minster in the historic city of York. Erected in the early second century AD, it once formed a significant part of the principal headquarters building within Eboracum, the Roman name for this northern stronghold. Today, it remains one of the scarce and precious architectural remnants from the Roman era that can still be seen in the north of England, offering a glimpse into the region's ancient past.
