The book is presented as a passion project built around close visual study of Roman York. Its maps place the legionary fortress, later settlement, walls, and modern city in relation to one another. Photographs of stones and carvings sit alongside the Roman road network, connecting objects with place. The same habits of looking at roads, walls, and surviving fabric can inform a visit to York or another Roman site.
