	Iron-Age and Roman Colchester \| British History Online
		Camulodunum was the Romanized form of the British name Camulodunon, meaning 'fortress of Camulos', the Celtic war-god.
		Camulodunum, or at least its immediate environs, was densely inhabited; the presence after the conquest of the fortress and the Gosbecks fort implies a large indigenous population in the vicinity and so too does the scale of the native defences and the large investment of man-hours which their construction represents.
		The distinction between Camulodunum and the Roman colony made in the 2nd-century inscription is reflected in the locations of the two types of temple erected in the settlement.

	Trinovantes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Their name derives from the Celtic intensive prefix "tri-" and "novio" - new - so the name literally means "very new", probably with the sense of "newcomers".
		Their capital was Camulodunum (modern Colchester), one proposed site of the legendary Camelot.
		10 BC Tasciovanus of the Catuvellauni issued coins from Camulodunum, suggesting that he conquered the Trinovantes, but he was soon forced to withdraw, perhaps as a result of pressure from the Romans, as his later coins no longer bear the mark "Rex", and Addedomarus was restored.
