at Lezoux about the end of the same century, and the Sigillata 
industry entirely ceased on the destruction of the potteries during 
the incursions of the Alamanni under Chrocus about a.d. 256-9. 
A list follows of the known potters of Lezoux whose stamps 
have been found at York. There are a number of others which 
are still uncertain owing to the fact that a revised list of potters’ 
stamps proper to Lezoux has not been published.

The productions of the smaller pottery mentioned by Dechelette 
{op. cit. I. 117) as existing at Banassac, in Lozere, and as export¬ 
ing similar howls of form 37 with inscriptions of an ornamental 
type are not represented at York, though fragments of ten such 
vessels are in the British Museum. The names of the potters 
proper to Banassac are also wanting. 
German Fabric. 
The terra sigillata produced at Rheinzabern (Taberna Rhcnana ), 
near Speyer, on the left hank of the Rhine in the Roman province 
of Germania Superior, from the beginning of the 2nd century to the 
middle of the 3rd (when the industry was likewise destroyed by 
the German inroads), is in imitation of the later styles of Lezoux, 
viz., figures in large medallions, or arcading, or in friezes without 
framing. It is well represented at York probably owing to the 
latter's position on a navigable river near to the opposite coast 
and to Britain being the sole foreign market open to it during the 
predominance of Lezoux. It is distinguishable by its inferior 
technique and style of decoration, a few 7 figures only being used 
and repeated over again round the body of the same vase. The 
potters’ names are usually in the nominative with F {fecit) and 
never with O or M {officiua or vianu). The following are the
