Of Severus thus writes Herodian III. Antoninus, and Geta his brother,
governed the empire jointly: they sailed from Britain, and went to Rome
with their father’s reliques; for his body being burnt, they carried
thither his ashes, put into an alabaster urn with gums and sweets, that
they might be reposed in the sacred monuments of the princes.
There were two reasons why the Roman Emperors residing here chose to
make York their imperial seat. 1. Because of its vicinity to the Scotch
frontiers, where they were perpetually upon their guard upon the Wall
against their incursions. 2. Because it is in a fruitful country,
upon a navigable river; but more because they could bring hither corn
from the southern countries of Northamptonshire, Huntingdonshire,
Cambridgeshire, &c. all the way by water carriage, from the river Ouse
or Nen at Peterborough, up the Cardike, the Witham to Lincoln, the
Fossdike (undoubtedly a work of theirs) the Trent, across the Humber,
up the Ouse to York; a particular not yet taken notice of. The old arch
in the bar leading to Micklegate is said to be Roman.
