		Tacitus does not mention this, but does single out the procurator, Catus Decianus, for criticism for his "avarice".
		Londinium was a relatively new town, founded after the conquest of 43, but had grown to be a thriving commercial centre with a population of travellers, traders, and probably Roman officials.
		Catus Decianus fled to Gaul and was replaced as procurator by Gaius Julius Alpinus Classicianus.

		The colony solicited the aid of Catus Decianus, who however was unable to send them more than 200 men, and these had not even regular arms.

		Catus Decianus, who in reality bore all the guilt, made his escape to Gaul; but Suetonius Paulinus, who had been informed of what was going on, had returned by this time, and forced his wa}r through the midst of the enemies as far as the colony of Londinium.

		The new propraetor Catus Decianus, who commanded in the absence of Suetonius, was holding a sort of court there, and the bearing of the Romans seemed even more arrogant and insolent than usual.
		Decianus, a haughty tyrant who had been sent to Britain by Nero as a mark of signal favour, in order that he might enrich himself by the spoils of the Britons, was levying exactions at a rate hitherto unknown, treating the people as if they were but dirt under his feet.
		His lieutenants, all creatures of Nero, followed his example, and the exasperation of the unfortunate Trinobantes, who were the chief victims, had reached such a point that they were ready for revolt whensoever the signal might come.

		Decianus had received the queen, had scoffed at her complaints, and when, fired with indignation, she had used threats, he had ordered his soldiers to strip and scourge her, and the sentence had actually been carried into effect.
		Reports came in from all parts of the district that they had changed their attitude, that they no longer crouched at the sight of a Roman but bore themselves defiantly, that there were meetings at night in the forest, and that the women sang chants and performed dances which had evidently some hidden meaning.
		Decianus, conscious perhaps that his action was strongly disapproved by all the principal inhabitants of the town, and that, perhaps, Suetonius would also view it in the same light when it was reported to him, had left the city a few days after the occurrence and had gone to Verulamium.

	Boudicca, Warrior Queen
		In what seemed to be a reasonable effort to preserve his own familial dynasty while appeasing Rome turned out to be just the sort of written excuse the Romans needed to claim all the Iceni lands and properties for themselves.
		Nero’s financial procurator in Britain, Catus Decianus, was sent to the home of Boudicca to make an assessment of all properties and inheritances, to make a true Roman determination on what ‘legally’ should belong to Nero (including the repayment of earlier ‘loans’).
		As it was considered illegal for a client King to not will his entire estate to the Emperor (from a Roman perspective) Decianus and his legionaries were completely within their right to exact payment in full.

		In 60 A.D. the greedy Roman Prefect, Catus Decianus, broke the Claudian Treaty with the Iceni tribe on a false pretext formulated by the Roman philosopher Seneca.
		When Prasutagus died, Seneca conspired with Decianus to call in the loan and disregard the valid claims of the late king's estate.
		Catus Decianus, whose conspiracy with the philosopher Seneca launched Boadicea's vengeful campaign, was so terrified by the violence of the conflict and the terrible carnage he witnessed that he fled into Gaul (France).

		The Imperial Cult, as represented by the Temple of the Deifield Claudius at Colchester, was, ironically, the focus of British hatred, though the procurator Catus Decianus had authorized the subsequent events, with the Emporor's knowledge and sanction.
		An excuse for the war was found in the confiscation of the sums of money that Claudius had given to the foremost Britons; for these sums, as Decianus Catus, the procurator of the island, maintained, were to be paid back.

		Serving as the civil counterpart of the governor, Catus fit the role of a cruel administrator driven by greed.
		Catus of course provided the spark by robbing the estate of Prasutagus, king of the Iceni.
		On the heels of this action, writes Tacitus, Prasutagus' estate "was plundered by centurions, [and] his house by slaves, as if they were spoils of war." When his wife Boudicca protested, Roman legionnaires flogged her.
