The #Roman Quarter will be a fantastic new addition to #York City Centre.  It will include a world class new Roman visitor attraction and regenerate Rougier Street and the surrounding area. Details on how to comment on the application can be found here:  https://t.co/btK5YJca0J

Io Saturnalia! Hopefully this time next year, we'll be celebrating the Roman midwinter festival having begun our excavation on Rougier Street (though with slightly less decadence!)

Could you handle a Roman Christmas? Beginning on 17th December the Romans celebrated midwinter with at least five days of feasting and partying called the Saturnalia, the celebration of Saturn. 🥳 https://t.co/VF9I0znilJ
