	Britannia: Caratacus, the First British Hero
		Caratacus emerges from history as one of the few early Britons with a distinct personality, thanks in large part to the accounts of Tacitus and Cassius Dio.
		Although his forces were defeated, Caratacus was not killed in the battle and managed to escape to the land of the Brigantes in northern Britain, where he hoped to find safety and a base for future resistance to the Romans.
		As for Caratacus, he flew hither and thither, protesting that that day and that battle would be the beginning of the recovery of their freedom, or of everlasting bondage.

		Unfortunately for Caratacus, Cartimandua, the Queen of the Brigantes, was bound by a client-ruler relationship with the Romans, so she handed Caratacus over to them.

	Catuvellauni - WCD (Wiki Classical Dictionary) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Under Cunobelinus and his family the Catuvellauni appear to have become the dominant power in south-eastern Britain: his brother Epaticcus and son Caratacus, from their coins, appear to have expanded their territory west into the lands of the Atrebates; another son, Adminius, appears to have held power in Kent.
		Caratacus and his brother Togodumnus led the British defence but were defeated in two battles on the rivers Medway and Thames, after which Togodumnus died.
		Caratacus, however, had survived, and continued to lead resistance in the lands of the Silures and Ordovices in modern Wales.

	Alien-UFOs.com Network Forum - Who was Caratacus?
		Caratacus is named by Dio Cassius as a son of the Catuvellaunian king Cunobelinus (the inspiration for William Shakespeare's Cymbeline).
		Caratacus and his brother Togodumnus led the initial defence of the country against Aulus Plautius's legions, primarily using guerilla tactics, but were defeated in two crucial battles on the rivers Medway (see Battle of Medway) and Thames.

	TOGODVMNVS CATVVELLAVNVM
		Unlike his brother Caratacus, Togodumnus issued no known inscribed coinage, which is unusual; Celtic monarchs in Britain had begun to issue inscribed coins prior to the turn of the first millenium, primarily to let their tribes people know who was now in charge.
		Caratacus was possibly installed at Calleva, the captured capital of the Atrebatean kingdom south of the Thames, about seventy miles away from Durobrivae on the Medway, along the course of the South Downs Way.
		Caratacus then took command of the British armies and whipped them into a frenzy, making them all the more determined to resist and avenge the death of their war-lord.
