A center for Roman tile kilns is being investigated in Minety, England, near Cirencester. Cirencester was known as the Roman town of Corinium. Tile production is thought to have been a significant regional industry in Roman Britain.

Many of the tiles were stamped with “TPF” (Tegularia Publica Fecerunt), which is thought to be Latin for “made in the public tiles works” presumably at the municipal tile works of Cirencester.
