This book is different from other books on York. Contained within
its pages are hugely appealing photographic glimpses of how people
lived, worked and played in the city a century ago, images full of
human history, and so much more than the usual street scenes. All
of life is here: children, soldiers, blacksmiths, revellers,
shopkeepers, families, and some that delight in their mystery! But
all is revealed by the authors in the rich captions accompanying
each picture, allowing us to view and understand York as never
before.
York is first and foremost a Roman city, and an extremely important
one at that. This comprehensive, fully illustrated book is a unique
and invaluable guide to York's Roman heritage, essential reading
for all those with an interest in the city. Like Rome, its mother
city, York was not built in a day. Nothing like it. The history of
Roman York entails the unravelling of centuries of new development,
refurbishment, military destruction, demolition and overbuilding,
and this unravelling is essentially what this book is all about. To
bring this story to life, The Making of Roman York has at its core
a detailed walk around the city, with easy maps leading the reader
effortlessly around the sites and sights, treading ancient Roman
routes and footsteps.
