	AULUS DIDIUS GALLUS
		Gallus possibly established the large legionary base at Wroxeter in the Central Welsh Marches to stabilise the Welsh frontier.
		In the latter part of his governorship Gallus was called upon to settle a violent internal dispute among the Brigantes tribe in northern England, when the prince consort Venutius turned against his spouse Cartimandua, and several auxiliary cohorts had to be sent to the client-queen's rescue.
		A short chapter outlining Gallus' actions during his governorship of Britain can be found in the Annals of Tacitus (book 12, chapter 40), which implies that he was already an old man when he took the helm of the British province.

		Ownership of Stanwick is still open to conjecture, but it would make sense to imply Venutius the builder, since it occupied a controlling point for the trade routes to the non Romanised zones.

		Gallus comes to Cartimanua's aid and sends some cohorts who break the siege.

	City of Cardiff
		Some believe that "Dydd" or "Diff" was a corruption of "Taff" the river on which the castle stands, in which case "Cardiff" would mean the fort on the river Taff (in Welsh the T mutates to D).
		Others favour a link with Aulus Didius Gallus, as it is known that the Romans established a fort in Cardiff when he was governor of the nearby province.
		A Norman castle still exists, within the site of the earlier Roman fort, but was substantially altered and extended during the Victorian period by John Crichton-Stuart, the 3rd Marquess of Bute, and the architect William Burgess.

		Caratacus was led in triumph by Claudius through the streets of Rome some time in the autumn of AD51, and the ornaments of a triumphant general were conferred upon Ostorius, without him actually celebrating a triumph himself, which honours were reserved exclusively for the imperial house.
		It is obvious that relations between the royal couple were to deteriorate significantly in the intervening years, for the ageing queen had a scandalous affair which rocked the Brigantian court, and eventually led to the Roman governor Vettius Bolanus being replaced by a more forceful general.
		In circa AD53, however, Venutius divorced Cartimandua and formed a faction of his own amongst his Carvetian tribespeople, attacking Cartimandua's power-base and causing the new Roman governor, Aulus Didius Gallus to send a number of auxiliary cohorts to her aid (Tacitus Annals XII, 40).
