Eboracum
Eboracum was a Roman legionary fortress and later a major town and provincial capital in northern Britannia, located where the River Ouse and Foss meet. Founded as a castrum in 71 AD, it developed a regular street grid, defensive stone walls with towers, and substantial civilian suburbs. Archaeological remains of the fortress line up with parts of modern York; one surviving element often highlighted is the Multangular Tower on the old fortress wall.

What Eboracum looked like in its prime.
A rectangular stone legionary fortress of Magnesian limestone with continuous defensive curtain walls pierced by polygonal interval towers and two large corner towers; within the walls a rectilinear grid of straight streets, stone public buildings and multi-room town houses on terraces above the river. The site sits beside the broad River Ouse, with packed-earth streets, low tiled roofs on houses, and freestanding stone towers rising above earthen ramparts and wooden internal buildings.
