Eboracum recognise that the Multangular Tower was Roman in date in a 1683 paper with the Royal Society. John Horsley's 1732 "Britannia Romana", or 'The Roman Antiquities of Britain', included a chapter on Roman York and at least partly informed Francis Drake's 1736 "Eboracum" – the first book of its kind on Roman York. Drake also published accounts in the "Philosophical Transactions" of the Royal Society. The Rev. Charles Wellbeloved was one of the founders of the Yorkshire Philosophical Society and a curator of the antiquities in the Yorkshire Museum until his death in 1858. He published a systematic account of
Eboracum depicting married couples and the Medusa. There are fewer than 25 jet pendants in the Roman world, of which six are known from Eboracum. These are housed in the Yorkshire Museum. The true paths of all original Roman roads leading out of Eboracum are not known, although eleven have been suggested. The known roads include Dere Street leading North-West from the city through Clifton towards the site of "Cataractonium" (modern Catterick), Cade's Road Towards "Petuaria" (modern Brough), and Ermine Street towards "Lindum" (modern Lincoln). A road bypassing the south wall of the fortress, between the fortress and the River Ouse
