I don’t understand this at all. Although I appreciate the enthusiasm to promote the appreciation of Roman Britain, this project seems rather kitschy:

Redesigned plans for a Roman Quarter development in York are set to be recommended for approval.

Initial proposals for the Rougier Street project, which included a Roman-themed attraction and 10-storey building, were rejected in 2021.

Objections to the scheme have been raised by both The Council for British Archaeology and Historic England.

However, the plan is expected to be given the go-ahead subject to a number of recommendations.

The Roman-attraction, to be called Eboracum - the Roman name for York - is set to be twice the size of the Jorvik Centre, run by the York Archaeological Trust (YAT).
