About the book >.>.> The Roman Inscriptions of Britain is the definitive publication of objects inscribed in the province during the Roman period. It will eventually cover all materials on which it is possible to inscribe or carve. Volume I published in 1965 dealt with inscriptions on stone. At that time it was announced that the Instrumentum Domesticum (Minor Inscriptions) would be published as a second volume. However work on this complex and varied corpus of material has taken longer than expected and in 1986 it was decided that publication should be facilitated by dividing Volume II into fascicules. This decision also allowed the original cut-off date for entries to be extended from 1956 to 1986 thus including the considerable quantity of new material from excavations and elsewhere. Volume II Fascicule 5 covers tile stamps of the Classis Britannica imperial procuratorial and civic tile stamps; stamps of private tilers; inscriptions on relief-patterned tiles and graffiti on tiles. The text gives transcriptions descriptions bibliography and notes for each entry. The Fascicule has been edited by Professor Frere who has been able to draw on the written drafts of R.P. Wright and critical advice from R.S.O. Tomlin. (SP)
