	York Roman Festival 2006 ::: a brief history of Roman York
		The place of Eboracum was an obvious choice for a base, not only for it’s never ending supply of timber, but also for it’s easily defensible position on relatively high but flat sandstone ridge between the two rivers that still form York’s heart today.
		Eboracum by this time clearly had all the amenities to accommodate an Emperor, because from AD208, Severus governed the Roman Empire from here until his death from pneumonia at the age of 64 in AD2II.
		Eboracum was now a thriving fortress, city and place for trade and industry, so a visit by the emperor was not a great surprise.

		It begins in earnest in AD71 when the Romans, at the height of their powers, conquered the Celtic tribes known as the Brigantes and founded Eboracum which, by the 4th century, was the capital of lower Britain.
		In the 7th century, known as Eoferwic, it was the chief city of the Anglo-Saxon King Edwin of Northumbria and, two centuries later as Jorvik, it became an important trading centre for the Vikings.
		The Legions, who occupied Eboracum until around AD410, had their headquarters where the Minster stands today and, during restoration work, Roman remains were discovered beneath it.

		Eboracum was corrupted by Anglo-Saxon speech into Eoforwic meaning ‘wild boar settlement’.
		In the late Viking period it is thought that the name Jorvik was shortened to something resembling its present form, York and in the medieval age the name York was generally used, although an independent form ‘Yerk’ is known to have existed at this time.
		One of the problems of studying York’s name is that many early records are written in Latin and thus use the Roman name Eboracum in periods when Eoforwic or Jorvik were used in every day speech.

		This is roughly another description of what happened in the second-century, with the Caledonii killing the governor at York, continuing to raid as far as the river Douglas in Lancashire, then being driven back north of the Antonine.
