Brief List of Events Involving the Roman Army in Britain APPENDIX IV BRIEF LIST OF EVENTS INVOLVING THE ROMAN ARMY IN BRITAIN 55-54 BC Julius Caesar invades (BG 4.20-36). A few fiercely fought bat­ tles occur. Caesar accepts offers of submission. Caesar's second invasion in 54 (BG 5.1-23) results in the defeat of the Celtic chieftain Cassivellaunus and the tenuous conquest of the southeast. 31 BC-AD 43 Trade between Rome and Britain increases (Strabo 4.5.3). AD 40 Gaius contemplates an invasion of Britain (Agricola 13.2), suddenly called off (Suetonius Caligula 44). Gaius considers the island conquered and orders his troops to gather seashells as booty for his triumphal proces­ sion (Dio 59.25.3). AD 43 Claudius sends Aulus Plautius with an invasion force of 40,000 troops from four legions (II Augusta, IX Hispana, XIV Gemina, and XX Valeria Victrix) and numerous auxiliary units (Suetonius Claudius 17; Dio 60.19). The conquest creates a new Roman province in Britain, its capital at Camu­ lodunum (Colchester), formerly the tribal capital for the Trinovantes. On the occasion of the victory, Claudius visits the island for 16 days, celebrates a grand triumph at Rome, and renames his son "Britannicus" in honor of his win in Britain. AD 4 3-4 7 Aul us Plautius extends Roman occupation westward towards the Severn and the \;\lash, and good relations are established with the Regni (Tacitus Agricola 14, RIB 91), with the Iceni (north of Colchester) under Prasutagus, and with the Brigantes (in northern England: Northumbria, \Vestmorland, and Cumbria) under Cartimandua. The future emperor Vespasian serves in Britain as a legionary legate (Suetonius Vespasian 4) and is instrumental in the early conquest. AD 47-52 P. Ostorius Scapula subdues tribes south of the Fosse \;\lay (Tacitus Annals 12.31-39). Caratacus, one of Cunobelinus' heirs, attacks the Dubonni and the Atrebates, whose king Verica appealed to Rome for help. As Ostorius fights Caratacus, the latter finds refuge among the Silures. Caratacus escapes northward, finding asylum among the Ordovices and then with the Brigantes, whose queen Cartimandua hands him over to the Romans (Tacitus Annals 12.31-9). Claudius, however, impressed with Cara­ tacus' courage and determination, pardons Caratacus and allows him to live comfortably in exile at Rome. AD 58-61 Suetonius Paulinus conducts campaigns in South Wales. 346 APPENDIX IV AD 57-58 Vcranius (57-58) conducts raids against the Silures, in Wales. AD 60 The Icenian king Prasutagus dies. Although the king named N era co-heir with his family (Tacitus Annals 14.31 ). However, centurions plun­ der the kingdom, flog Boudicca, rape her daughters, and strip the Icenian nobility of their estates. Roman veterans, who had settled in Colchester, drive natives from their estates and enslave them. In response, the Iceni, the Trinovantes, and other tribes rise in revolt under Boudicca and sacked Colchester-including the temple of the Divine Claudius--St. Albans, and London. The uprising comes to an end as Roman troop reinforcements arrive and as Boudicca falls in a pitched battle. Without her strength of leadership and organization, the rebellion soon falls apart (Tacitus Annals 14.38-9). AD 67 /8 Legio XIV Gemina is withdrawn for Nero's intended expedition to the Caspian Sea (Tacitus Agricola 16, Hist. 2.66). AD 69 Britain supports Vitellius against Otho by sending troops (Tacitus Histories 2 .5 7). After victory in Italy, Vitelli us returns the XIV Gemina to Britain. Vespasian recalls legio XIV Gemina from Britain to fight the Batavi (Tacitus Histories 4.68). AD 71-7 3 Pctilius Cerialis is governor. Legio IX Hispana is transferred from Lincoln to York. The Brigantes are subdued in 71 (Tacitus Agricola 17). AD 74-78 Scxtus Julius Frontinus defeats the Silurcs (in southeastern Wales; Tacitus Agricola 17). Legio II Augusta is transferred from Gloucester to Caerlcon, and numerous forts and roads arc built throughout \Vales. AD 78-84 Agricola and the Roman army push northward into Scotland. Agricola defeats the Ordovices (Tacitus Agricola 18) and the Brigantes (Tacitus Agricola 20), whose territory he regarrisons. By 79, he reaches the Tyne­ Solway line and occupies the Scottish lowlands by 80. In 81, his troops build roads and forts. Agricola advances into the highlands by 83, where the legionary fortress at Inchtuthil is established (Tacitus Agricola 25-27). In 84, the Romans arc successful against the Calcdonians at Mons Graupius (Tacitus Agricola 29-38). AD 84/85 Agricola is recalled to Rome (84/85; Tacitus Agricola 39). Scottish highlands are abandoned. AD I 05 Scottish lowlands are abandoned, as troops arc transferred to Cumbria. The Trajanic border runs along the Stangate (between the Tyne and the Solway). AD 122 Hadrian visits Britain (SHA Hadr. 11, RIB 1051, 1340). Legio T1 Victrix replaces legio IX Hispana in garrison at York. Platorius Ncpos over­ sees construction of Hadrian's \Vall, along the Tyne-Solway line. AD 138 Lolli us U rbicus reoccupies southern Scotland and begins build­ ing the Antonine Wall (SHA Ant. Pius 5.4; RIB 1147), perhaps in response to unrest from the barbarian tribes to the north. .

  • Women in Criminal Trials in the Julio-Claudian Era
    Women in Criminal Trials in the Julio-Claudian Era by Tracy Lynn Deline B.A., University of Saskatchewan, 1994 M.A., University of Saskatchewan, 2001 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Classics) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) September 2009 © Tracy Lynn Deline, 2009 Abstract This study focuses on the intersection of three general areas: elite Roman women, criminal law, and Julio-Claudian politics. Chapter one provides background material on the literary and legal source material used in this study and considers the cases of Augustus’ daughter and granddaughter as a backdrop to the legal and political thinking that follows. The remainder of the dissertation is divided according to women’s roles in criminal trials. Chapter two, encompassing the largest body of evidence, addresses the role of women as defendants, and this chapter is split into three thematic parts that concentrate on charges of adultery, treason, and other crimes. A recurring question is whether the defendants were indicted for reasons specific to them or the indictments were meant to injure their male family members politically. Analysis of these cases reveals that most of the accused women suffered harm without the damage being shared by their male family members. Chapter three considers that a handful of powerful women also filled the role of prosecutor, a role technically denied to them under the law. Resourceful and powerful imperial women like Messalina and Agrippina found ways to use criminal accusations to remove political enemies. Chapter four investigates women in the role of witnesses in criminal trials.

  • Colchester and Ipswich Museum Service Ancient Gold of the Iceni
    Colchester and Ipswich Museum Service Ancient gold of the Iceni found in Suffolk A morning’s metal detecting back in 2008 lead to the discovery of 840 Iron Age gold coins - the largest hoard of its type found in Britain in over 150 years. Now Colchester and Ipswich Museum Service has until the end of June to raise £300,000 to save this outstanding archaeological treasure for the nation and people of Suffolk. The coins were buried just over 2000 years ago by members of the Iceni tribe whose kingdom covered Norfolk, north Suffolk and parts of Cambridgeshire. The coins were buried about 40 years before queen Boudica led her famous revolt against the Romans. They offer an unparalleled glimpse into life on the eve of the Roman invasion and are part of the origins and long history of Suffolk communities. Whilst the museum gets down to the business of fundraising people will be able to have a sneak preview of 200 of the coins at Ipswich Museum from May 3 rd until June 10 th . The coins officially belong to the Crown until the museum has raised the money to buy them and they are on display with special permission from the Department for Culture, Media and Sport. Caroline McDonald, Curator of archaeology at the museum is particularly excited at their arrival. ‘Suffolk earth has revealed some of the nations most outstanding treasure finds in recent decades. The Amazing Anglo-Saxon ship burial at Sutton Hoo in 1939, the stunning silver Roman dinner service found at Mildenhall during World War II and more recently the Hoxne hoard of Roman coins and artefacts found in the 1990s.

  • Resettlement Into Roman Territory Across the Rhine and the Danube Under the Early Empire (To the Marcomannic Wars)*
    Eos C 2013 / fasciculus extra ordinem editus electronicus ISSN 0012-7825 RESETTLEMENT INTO ROMAN TERRITORY ACROSS THE RHINE AND THE DANUBE UNDER THE EARLY EMPIRE (TO THE MARCOMANNIC WARS)* By LESZEK MROZEWICZ The purpose of this paper is to investigate the resettling of tribes from across the Rhine and the Danube onto their Roman side as part of the Roman limes policy, an important factor making the frontier easier to defend and one way of treating the population settled in the vicinity of the Empire’s borders. The temporal framework set in the title follows from both the state of preser- vation of sources attesting resettling operations as regards the first two hundred years of the Empire, the turn of the eras and the time of the Marcomannic Wars, and from the stark difference in the nature of those resettlements between the times of the Julio-Claudian emperors on the one hand, and of Marcus Aurelius on the other. Such, too, is the thesis of the article: that the resettlements of the period of the Marcomannic Wars were a sign heralding the resettlements that would come in late antiquity1, forced by peoples pressing against the river line, and eventu- ally taking place completely out of Rome’s control. Under the Julio-Claudian dynasty, on the other hand, the Romans were in total control of the situation and transferring whole tribes into the territory of the Empire was symptomatic of their active border policies. There is one more reason to list, compare and analyse Roman resettlement operations: for the early Empire period, the literature on the subject is very much dominated by studies into individual tribe transfers, and works whose range en- * Originally published in Polish in “Eos” LXXV 1987, fasc.

  • VESPASIAN. AD 68, Though Not a Particularly Constructive Year For
    138 VESPASIAN. AD 68, though not a particularly constructive year for Nero, was to prove fertile ground for senators lion the make". Not that they were to have the time to build anything much other than to carve out a niche for themselves in the annals of history. It was not until the dust finally settled, leaving Vespasian as the last contender standing, that any major building projects were to be initiated under Imperial auspices. However, that does not mean that there is nothing in this period that is of interest to this study. Though Galba, Otho and Vitellius may have had little opportunity to indulge in any significant building activity, and probably given the length and nature of their reigns even less opportunity to consider the possibility of building for their future glory, they did however at the very least use the existing imperial buildings to their own ends, in their own ways continuing what were by now the deeply rooted traditions of the principate. Galba installed himself in what Suetonius terms the palatium (Suet. Galba. 18), which may not necessarily have been the Golden House of Nero, but was part at least of the by now agglomerated sprawl of Imperial residences in Rome that stretched from the summit of the Palatine hill across the valley where now stands the Colosseum to the slopes of the Oppian, and included the Golden House. Vitellius too is said to have used the palatium as his base in Rome (Suet. Vito 16), 139 and is shown by Suetonius to have actively allied himself with Nero's obviously still popular memory (Suet.

  • Introduction to Roman Yorkshire
    ROMAN YORKSHIRE: PEOPLE, CULTURE, LANDSCAPE By Patrick Ottaway. Published 2013 by The Blackthorn Press Chapter 1 Introduction to Roman Yorkshire ‘In the abundance and variety of its Roman antiquities, Yorkshire stands second to no other county’ Frank and Harriet Wragg Elgee (1933) The Yorkshire region A Roman army first entered what we now know as Yorkshire in about the year AD 48, according to the Roman author Cornelius Tacitus ( Annals XII, 32). This was some five years after the invasion of Britain itself ordered by the Emperor Claudius. The soldiers’ first task in the region was to assist in the suppression of a rebellion against a Roman ally, Queen Cartimandua of the Brigantes, a native people who occupied most of northern England. The Roman army returned to the north in about the years 51-2, once again to support Cartimandua who was, Tacitus tells us, now under attack by her former consort, a man named Venutius ( Annals XII, 40). In 69 a further dispute between Cartimandua and Venutius, for which Tacitus is again the (only) source, may have provided a pretext for the Roman army to begin the conquest of the whole of northern Britain ( Histories III, 45). England south of Hadrian’s Wall, including Yorkshire, was to remain part of the Roman Empire for about 340 years. The region which is the principal subject of this book is Yorkshire as it was defined before local government reorganisation in 1974. There was no political entity corresponding to the county in Roman times. It was, according to the second century Greek geographer Ptolemy, split between the Brigantes and the Parisi, a people who lived in what is now (after a brief period as Humberside) the East Riding.

  • 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.

  • Frontinus: De Aquaeductu Urbis Romae by Robert H. Rodgers Cambridge Classical Texts and Commentaries 42
    Frontinus: De aquaeductu urbis Romae by Robert H. Rodgers Cambridge Classical Texts and Commentaries 42. Cambridge: Cam- bridge University Press, 2004. Pp. xv + 431. 11 Tables. ISBN 0--521-- 83251--9.Cloth $130.00 Reviewed by John Peter Oleson University of Victoria [email protected] In AD 97, Sextus Julius Frontinus, one of the most distinguished and influential men in late first century Rome, accepted from Nerva the post of curator aquarum for the city. Not coincidentally, at the same time, he served on a senatorial commission looking for ways to cut the costs of administering Rome and the Empire. In 98, Frontinus was part of the small group of senators who held the constitutional reins of power until the arrival of Trajan, and he may have contin- ued in office as curator aquarum until 100, or even until his death in 103/4. After a life of these and other accomplishments, with ironic modesty, he declared that a funerary monument would be superflu- ous: inpensa monumenti supervacua est; memoria nostri durabit, si vita meruimus 1 [Pliny, Ep. 9.19.6--8]. Sometime around 98, Frontinus prepared a booklet that may have been entitled De aquaeductu urbis Romae. This commentarius on the water-supply system of Rome is unique among the surviving works of Latin literature, and—although relatively brief (about 12,750 words in length)—it has spawned a bulky modern bibliography. Rodgers has meticulously prepared a critical edition of the text and a commentary that synthesizes all this previous work, and supersedes previous editions and commentaries. It is a shame that Rodgers’ elegant and precise translation, which has now appeared with notes for undergraduate readers in Rodgers 2005, was not included with the edition.2 The issues involved in the study of the De aquaeductu are many and varied: the text, the form of the booklet, its intended audience 1 ‘The expense of a monument is superfluous.

  • '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.
