His name is known only from his inscribed coins, the distribution of which seem to indicate that he was the ruler of the Trinovantes . He was the first king to produce inscribed coins north of the Thames, perhaps as early as 35 BC, although some estimates are as late as 15 BC. He seems to have moved the Trinovantian capital from Braughing in Hertfordshire to Camulodunum Colchester , Essex . For a brief period ca. 15 10 BC he seems to have been supplanted by Tasciovanus of the Catuvellauni , who issued coins from Camulodunum at that time.

The Temple of Claudius Templum Claudii or Temple of the Deified Claudius Templum Divi Claudii built in Camulodunum Colchester Roman Colchester Roman Colchester sometime after the Roman conquest of Britain in 43 AD 43 , although it is not certain whether it was built before or after Claudius death and deification in 54 AD 54 . In AD 60 or 61, during Boudica s uprising , Camulodunum Colchester was laid to siege. The town had been left in the hands of old Roman veterans, and this lack of manpower combined with the prospect of destroying a major Roman town, gave the Iceni Icenic force a chance to take revenge. Boudica s army fell on the poorly defended city and destroyed it, besieging the last defenders in the temple for two days before it fell. The 9th Roman Legion from the north attempted to relieve the city but Boudica s Army ambushed the Legion and killed all but a few. None of the legion reached Colchester. Boudica s Army set fire to the temple killing all those held up inside and the whole city was eventually destroyed by the fire. Even today a layer of ash can be found under the surface where the ancient city once stood. The head from a life size bronze statue of Claudius, found in the River Alde in 1907, roughly 30 miles from Colchester and on the southern edge of Iceni territory, could perhaps have been broken from a statue in the temple by Boudica s forces and carried off as a trophy, although this cannot be more than a guess unless more evidence is found. ref cite web url http www.britishmuseum.org explore highlights highlight objects pe prb b bronze head of claudius.aspx title Head of the Emperor Claudius publisher British Museum ref Colchester Castle is built on the remains of its podium or foundations, which the castle s Normans Norman builders assumed was solid ground, and the castle overall was built out of spolia tiles and s ... more details
