The latest addition to RIB II is devoted to graffiti on samian ware ( terra sigillata ), of which 879 examples have been collected. This large number, and the fact that samian sherds can usually be dated, provides a valuable statistical basis for the study of nomenclature, abbreviations, the growth of basic literacy and other epigraphic questions.

The city walls of Canterbury are some of the most interesting, and in places best-preserved structures of their kind in southern England. Since the destruction that took place as a result of WW2, a great deal of new information has been obtained, including the discovery that the medieval city wall was on the same line as the Roman wall. Sites covered include the Castle; Riding Gate; City Wall in the Old Cattle Market; Worth Gate; 19 Pound Lane, as well as a section on the exceptionally fine West Gate and an assessment of finds.
