Extract

Bricks and tiles stamped with the initials of the Classis Britannica, the fleet of Roman Britain, have been found on nine sites around the shores of Sussex and Kent and at two localities in the Boulogne region of France (FIG. I). Supplemented by a few inscriptions on stone, they form the principal archaeological evidence for the presence of the fleet in the Channel.
