The Brigantes were the largest British tribe at the time of the Roman invasion. A Victorian arboretum occupies a part of the Roman settlement, and you can see two exceptional Roman mosaics still in their original position.

In 1930 workmen were doing repairs to an old inn on St Sampson's Street in the heart of York when they unearthed an unexpected find; the ruins of a Roman steam bath, or caldarium. Further excavations revealed an adjoining plunge bath. The baths have been turned into a small underground museum, with displays of objects found on the site.
