SE6052 : Roman Column
York, Yorkshire, Great Britain
Roman Column
The plaque reads.....
This Roman Column once stood within the great hall of the headquarters building of the Fortress of the sixth legion (whose emblem was a bull) in the fourth century A.D. It was found in 1969 during the excavation of the south transept of the Minster where it had collapsed. It was given by the Dean and Chapter to the York Civic Trust who in 1971 erected it on this site to mark the 1900th anniversary of the foundations of the city by the Romans in A.D. 71
