The spread of Roman baths in civilian contexts in Britain can be traced in the period from the conquest to the mid-second century by the occurrence of relatively well-dated and distinctive types of tubuli (box-tiles). In the first century ‘thin-walled’ box-tiles were used with other types of tiles in wall-jacketings. Thereafter, until c. A.D. 150, the distribution of relief-patterned box-tiles attests the increasing spread of Roman baths and the importance of London as a centre for building contracts. The cessation of relief-patterned keying may be linked to the completion of work on public contracts for baths and a consequent decline in the demand for box-tiles
