Abstract
The Ravenscar inscription (C.I.L. vii, 268 = E.E. ix, 561), found in 1774 on what may be presumed to have been a Yorkshire ‘signal-station’ site, and now in Whitby Museum, needs no lengthy introduction. Its importance was recognized by Huebner and Mommsen, and it has been discussed by Haverfield, who published a good photograph, and by Collingwood, who included a line-drawing of it in his Archaeology of Roman Britain. Despite its importance as one of the latest epigraphic documents of Roman Britain, and the attention it has therefore received, its exact meaning has remained far from clear, the uncertainty resting largely in the third line. Most recently, Mr. C. E. Stevens has re-examined the text in an appendix to his article on the British sections of the Notitia Dignitatum.
