Roman Inscriptions of Britain is a 3-volume corpus of inscriptions found in Britain from the Roman period. It is an important reference work for all scholars of Roman Britain. This monumental work was initiated by Francis J. Haverfield – his notebooks were bequeathed to the University of Oxford. The first volume, "Inscriptions on Stone" was then edited by R.G. Collingwood and R.P. Wright with an addenda by R.S.O. Tomlin. It was first published in 1965, with a new edition in 1995.

Volume II is broadly the inscriptions found on instrumentum domesticum (domestic utensils).

There are also indexes published to the volumes allowing the scholar to quickly reference nomina and cognomina, military units, imperial titles, emperors and consuls, deities and so forth. Entries are also cross-referenced to the CIL and other indexes and journals as necessary.

References to RIB entries are usually written in the simple form RIB 1726. This is entry 1726 in volume 1. In this particular case it is a part of an altar with the inscription [I(oui)] O(ptimo) M(aximo) D(olicheno) | ...] Sabini fil(ia)| ...]ina, Regulus| ...]Publi[.... This inscription is shown here with the critical marks from the RIB intact.
