The Trinovantes The Trinovantes The Trinovantes were an Ancient British tribe who lived in the North Essex – South Suffolk region of England. At the time of the Roman invasion they were one of the larger and more powerful tribes, although their ruling family were originally from the nearby Catuvellauni tribe and seem to have taken power shortly before the Roman invasion. This was one of the first armies I created at 6mm and has gone through a number of expansions and changes over the years. Hopefully it has now stabilised and reflects the likely real size of the Trinovante tribe and its mix between nobles, warriors and peasants. The Trinovantes are ruled by their king, Cunobeline, who is royal and a strong and reliable leader. The tribe is split into three clans. The first and major clan forming the main tribe is directly led by Cunobeline and his sons. The two smaller allied clans are led by their own chieftains who owe allegiance to Cunobeline, although possibly not willingly, and have some degree of independence. Hence their Forced Ally classification. The Army consists of five Corps: - Cunobeline’s warriors from the main (red) clan. - Togodumnus’ troops. - Caratacus’ troops. - The Coastal (blue) clan. - The Canonium (green) clan. Corps 1 – Cunobeline’s Warriors This Corps is directly commanded by Cunobeline and represents the main part of the main clan of the Trinovante tribe. It consists of 6 Divisions. The first Division is led by Cunobeline and is formed of 250 of his closest warriors. They are of Noble quality borne on Celtic chariots. They have 300 Warrior quality light cavalry to support them. The second Division is the first warband which is a single Unit of 2,000 Warrior quality unarmoured troops armed with light spears. Corps 1 – Cunobeline’s Warriors Continued The third and fourth Divisions are each formed of a warband of 1,500 Warrior quality unarmoured troops armed with light spears. Each warband is supported by 200 skirmishers with sling. The fifth and sixth Divisions are each formed of a warband of 2,000 Peasant quality troops armed with light spear and also unarmoured. These resperesent the lower echelons of the tribe. Corps 2 – Togodumnus’ Troops Togodumnus is one of Cunobeline’s sons and acts as second in command of the tribe and leads the second Corps. He is also a strong leader, but rash. His Corps consists of 3 Divisions. Togodumnus leads the first Division with a Unit of 200 Noble quality chariot borne troops. They are supported by 400 Warrior quality light cavalry. Corps 2 – Togodumnus’ Troops Continued The second Division consists of a Unit of 750 Warrior quality slingers and a Unit of 450 javelin armed Warrior quality peltasts. All unarmoured. The third Division consists of a warband of 1,000 Peasant quality troops armed with light spears. They are supported by 400 Peasant quality skirmishers with javelin. Corps 3 – Caratacus’ Troops Caratacus is another of Cunobeline’s sons and possibly the more famous. He is also a strong leader but not so rash. His Corps is an attempt to represent the guerrilla tactics he used during his career fighting the Romans. His Corps consists of 2 Divisions. The first Division consists of cavalry. Caratacus commands a Unit of 450 Noble quality javelin armed cavalry, some of which have light armour. They are supported by 500 Warrior quality light cavalry. The second Division consists of Warrior quality troops fighting as foot skirmishers. 600 of these are javelin armed and the remaining 200 with sling. Corps 4 – Coastal (blue) Clan The Coastal (blue) Clan is theoretically based near or along the Essex coast. Whilst part of the overall Trinovante tribe, its chieftain – Cartivelios – has a degree of independence but is still effectively subservient to Cunobeline. Cartivelios is reasonably reliable but cautious. His Corps consists of 1 Division. The Division contains all elements of the clan that will be mustered in times of war. Cartivelios leads the clan with his 100 Nobles who fight as light cavalry. The main force of the clan is its warband which consists of 1,000 Warrior quality troops armed with light spears. There is a further Unit of 300 Warrior quality slingers and one of 100 Warrior quality light cavalry. Corps 5 – Canonium (green) Clan This clan is supposedly based at Canonium (about 15 miles south of the main tribal centre). Again although part of the overall tribe, they do have some independence. Their chieftain is Dumnovellanunos, who is cautious but a strong leader. His Corps consists of 1 Division. The Division contains all elements of the clan that will be mustered in times of war. Dumnovellanunos has 50 Nobles who are chariot borne. His warband consists of 1,000 Warrior quality troops armed with light spears. They are supported by 200 Warrior quality light cavalry and 150 Warrior quality slingers. This makes the Army 18,300 men strong and currently the third largest in my collection. The Trinovantes have taken part in over 28 battles so far, making it one of the most used in my collection. However, the majority of these were in the early years when their army was small and they formed part of an alliance. They have a low success rate but whether this is due to their own characteristics or a result of their alliances is not clear. Certainly, Cunobeline does struggle to get his unruly barbarians – including his sons – to follow his sometimes too complex plans. Depending on the terrain, Cunobeline’s preference is to hold in the centre with his warbands, whilst his sons try to compromise an enemy flank. His allied clans are typically used to either extend the other flank or split either side of his main warbands. The Trinovante chieftains and nobles seem to have a very short life expectancy which appears to come with leading charges of unarmoured men. Certainly the lack of armour seems to mean that although their warbands are very resilient in terms of morale, they tend to lose men quite rapidly if melees drag on and leads to small remnants hanging around until the very end of most battles. Death and honour seem to outweigh running away..

  • The Cultural and Ideological Significance of Representations of Boudica During the Reigns of Elizabeth I and James I
    EXETER UNIVERSITY AND UNIVERSITÉ D’ORLÉANS The Cultural and Ideological Significance Of Representations of Boudica During the reigns of Elizabeth I and James I. Submitted by Samantha FRENEE-HUTCHINS to the universities of Exeter and Orléans as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English, June 2009. This thesis is available for library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgment. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. ..................................... (signature) 2 Abstract in English: This study follows the trail of Boudica from her rediscovery in Classical texts by the humanist scholars of the fifteenth century to her didactic and nationalist representations by Italian, English, Welsh and Scottish historians such as Polydore Virgil, Hector Boece, Humphrey Llwyd, Raphael Holinshed, John Stow, William Camden, John Speed and Edmund Bolton. In the literary domain her story was appropriated under Elizabeth I and James I by poets and playwrights who included James Aske, Edmund Spenser, Ben Jonson, William Shakespeare, A. Gent and John Fletcher. As a political, religious and military figure in the middle of the first century AD this Celtic and regional queen of Norfolk is placed at the beginning of British history. In a gesture of revenge and despair she had united a great number of British tribes and opposed the Roman Empire in a tragic effort to obtain liberty for her family and her people.

  • Caratacus Errata
    Caratacus Module Errata & Clarifications February, 2008 Components Counters There are 60 counters provided with the module. Corrections and additions to the counters include: •• The Briton MI should be BI instead •• Togudumnus counter is missing. Use any TC from Caesar/Gaul substituting the following ratings: Order/Line Range is 4/7; Initiative is 4; Charisma is 2 •• Cnaeus Sentius (commander of the Batavians) should have the following ratings: Command Range is 3; Initiative is 3; Line Command is 1; Charisma is 1; Strategy is 6. He is not a Cavalry commander, but the leader of the Batavians. The Briton army contains the following units: •• 2 Overall Commanders (Caratacus and Togodumnus) •• 3 Subordinate commanders (Taximagulus, Cingetorix, and Segovax chiefs of the Trinovantes, Atrebates and Cantii, respectively) •• 30 LI with 30 CH •• 20 BI (the MI counters) •• 4 LC Not all of the counters included in the module are used in the battles. There are 8 extra Briton BI (masquerading as MI, to be sure). Please use only 20 of these (you could always use the extras to alter play balance. Better more than too few). There is an extra Briton LI and CH, although including them is not exactly going to alter the game to any great extent. The extra CH counters are used for the extra Brit LI, which always used chariots to get around town. Since the original publication of the module, GMT has added 40 counters. This set includes: •• 20 Briton BI to replace the 20 Briton MI from the original counter set •• Togodumnus •• Cn. Sentius (ignore the Cav designation on the counter) •• 4 Batavian MI and 2 Batavian LI •• 12 Testudo/Harass & Disperse Markers Applicable Errata for Caesar: Conquest of Gaul Ignore this section when using the Caesar: Conquest of Gaul 2nd Edition rules.

  • The Mysterious World of Celtic Coins
    The Mysterious World of Celtic Coins Coins were developed about 650 BC on the western coast of modern Turkey. From there, they quickly spread to the east and the west, and toward the end of the 5th century BC coins reached the Celtic tribes living in central Europe. Initially these tribes did not have much use for the new medium of exchange. They lived self-sufficient and produced everything needed for living themselves. The few things not producible on their homesteads were bartered with itinerant traders. The employ of money, especially of small change, is related to urban culture, where most of the inhabitants earn their living through trade or services. Only people not cultivating their own crop, grapes or flax, but buying bread at the bakery, wine at the tavern and garments at the dressmaker do need money. Because by means of money, work can directly be converted into goods or services. The Celts in central Europe presumably began using money in the course of the 4th century BC, and sometime during the 3rd century BC they started to mint their own coins. In the beginning the Celtic coins were mere imitations of Greek, later also of Roman coins. Soon, however, the Celts started to redesign the original motifs. The initial images were stylized and ornamentalized to such an extent, that the original coins are often hardly recognizable. 1 von 16 www.sunflower.ch Kingdom of Macedon, Alexander III the Great (336-323 BC) in the Name of Philip II, Stater, c. 324 BC, Colophon Denomination: Stater Mint Authority: King Alexander III of Macedon Mint: Colophon Year of Issue: -324 Weight (g): 8.6 Diameter (mm): 19.0 Material: Gold Owner: Sunflower Foundation Through decades of warfare, King Philip II had turned Macedon into the leading power of the Greek world.

    1 Gunnar Heinsohn (15 June 2017) ARTHUR OF CAMELOT AND ATHTHE-DOMAROS OF CAMULODUNUM: A STRATIGRAPHY-BASED EQUATION PROVIDING A NEW CHRONOLOGY FOR 1st MIILLENNIUM ENGLAND “It seems probable that Camelot, Chrétien de Troyes’ [c. 1140-1190 AD] name for Arthur's Court, is derived directly from Camelod-unum, the name of Roman Colchester. The East Coast town was probably well-known to this French poet, though whether he knew of any specific associations with Arthur is unclear. […] John Morris [1973] suggests that Camulodunum might actually have been the High-King Arthur's Eastern Capital” (David Nash Ford 2000). "I think we can dispose of him [Arthur] quite briefly. He owes his place in our history books to a 'no smoke without fire' school of thought. [...] The fact of the matter is that there is no historical evidence about Arthur; we must reject him from our histories and, above all, from the titles of our books" (David N. Dumville 1977, 187 f.)

  • 'J.E. Lloyd and His Intellectual Legacy: the Roman Conquest and Its Consequences Reconsidered' : Emyr W. Williams
    J.E. Lloyd and his intellectual legacy: the Roman conquest and its consequences reconsidered,1 by E.W. Williams In an earlier article,2 the adequacy of J.E.Lloyd’s analysis of the territories ascribed to the pre-Roman tribes of Wales was considered. It was concluded that his concept of pre- Roman tribal boundaries contained major flaws. A significantly different map of those tribal territories was then presented. Lloyd’s analysis of the course and consequences of the Roman conquest of Wales was also revisited. He viewed Wales as having been conquered but remaining largely as a militarised zone throughout the Roman period. From the 1920s, Lloyd's analysis was taken up and elaborated by Welsh archaeology, then at an early stage of its development. It led to Nash-Williams’s concept of Wales as ‘a great defensive quadrilateral’ centred on the legionary fortresses at Chester and Caerleon. During recent decades whilst Nash-Williams’s perspective has been abandoned by Welsh archaeology, it has been absorbed in an elaborated form into the narrative of Welsh history. As a consequence, whilst Welsh history still sustains a version of Lloyd’s original thesis, the archaeological community is moving in the opposite direction. Present day archaeology regards the subjugation of Wales as having been completed by 78 A.D., with the conquest laying the foundations for a subsequent process of assimilation of the native population into Roman society. By the middle of the 2nd century A.D., that development provided the basis for a major demilitarisation of Wales. My aim in this article is to cast further light on the course of the Roman conquest of Wales and the subsequent process of assimilating the native population into Roman civil society.

  • Togodumnus ?= Togidubnus This Name (Or Names) Has Been Much Discussed, for Example Here
    Togodumnus ?= Togidubnus This name (or names) has been much discussed, for example here. During the Roman conquest of Britain, according to Cassius Dio 60,20: ‘Plautius, accordingly, had a deal of trouble in searching them out; but when at last he did find them, he first defeated Caratacus and then Togodumnus, the sons of Cynobellinus, who was dead. (The Britons were not free and independent, but were divided into groups under various kings.) After the flight of these kings he gained by capitulation a part of the Bodunni, who were ruled by a tribe of the Catuellani; and leaving a garrison there, he advanced farther and came to a river.’ [Ὁ οὖν Πλαύτιος πολλὰ μὲν πράγματα ἀναζητῶν σφας ἔσχεν, ἐπεὶ δὲ εὗρέ ποτε (ἦσαν δὲ οὐκ αὐτόνομοι ἀλλ'ἄλλοι ἄλλοις βασιλεῦσι προστεταγμένοι), πρῶτον μὲν Καράτακον ἔπειτα Τογόδουμνον, Κυνοβελλίνου παῖδας, ἐνίκησεν· αὐτὸς γὰρ ἐτεθνήκει. Φυγόντων δὲ ἐκείνων προσεποιήσατο ὁμολογίᾳ μέρος τι τῶν Βοδούννων, ὧν ἐπῆρχον Κατουελλανοὶ ὄντες, κἀνταῦθα φρουρὰν καταλιπὼν πρόσω ᾔει.] The beginning of the next section is usually translated as ‘Shortly afterwards Togodumnus perished, but the Britons, so far from yielding, united all the more firmly to avenge his death. [Διά τε οὖν τοῦτο, καὶ ὅτι καὶ τοῦ Τογοδούμνου φθαρέντος οἱ Βρεττανοὶ οὐχ ὅσον ἐνέδοσαν, ἀλλὰ καὶ μᾶλλον πρὸς τὴν τιμωρίαν αὐτοῦ ἐπισυνέστησαν] These texts are unambiguous in stating that Τογοδουμνος was one of two sons of the late king Κυνοβελλινος, but to claim that he died (and how) may be over-interpretation. See below. In recounting the history of Roman Britain, Tacitus wrote (in Agricola 14): ‘Aulus Plautius was the first governor of consular rank, and Ostorius Scapula the next.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the legitimate reasons for The Invasion of Britain led by Claudius. Before the invasion, his had an unfortunate life. He was physically distorted, so no one gave him an official position. However, one day, something unimaginable happened. He found himself selected by the Praetorian Guard to be the new emperor of Roma. Many scholars generally agree Claudius was eager to overcome his physical disabilities and low expectations to secure his position as new Emperor in Rome by military success in Britain. Although his personal motivation was understandable, it was not sufficient enough for Imperial Rome to legitimize the invasion of Britain. It is important to separate personal reasons and official reasons.
