  BRITISH CELTIC NOBLES
Around AD35 however, Epaticcus was either killed or died naturally, and Verica made some progress toward retrieving the lands lost to the Catuvellauni.
Was the son of Addedomaros, whom he succeeded in c.20BC, and the father of Cunobelin and Epaticcus.
While his father ruled the joint Catuvellaunian/Trinovantian kingdom from Camulodunum, and his elder brother Adminius governed Cantium from Durovernum (annexed in c.AD30), Togodumnus was given administrative authority over the Catuvellaunian heartlands and based at the old capital of Verulamium.

Cunobelinus's brother Epaticcus and sons Adminius and Caratacus also minted coins.

Adminius appears to have controlled Kent by the late 30s, but, as recorded by Suetonius, was exiled by his father with a small group of followers, and surrendered to the emperor Caligula.

 Romans in Britain - The Catuvellauni tribe
The grandson of Cassivellaunus, and the father of Cunobelin and Epaticcus.
Togodumnus was given administrative authority over the Catuvellaunian tribe and based himself at the old capital of Verulamium around 35AD, following the death of his uncle Epaticcus who had previously secured the western borders of the kingdom by his occupation of the Atrebates capital, Calleva.
It is quite possible that he accompanied Epaticcus, his uncle, during his campaigns against Verica of the Atrebates from 25AD until his death about 35AD.

Tasciovanus was the grandson, or perhaps the son, of Cassivellaunus, and the father of Cunobelin and Epaticcus.
He was ruler of the tribe from circa 20 B.C. He was also the first to renew hostilities towards the Trinovantes, flouting the long-standing agreement between Caesar and his own grandfather Cassivellaunus.
Epaticcus, son of Tasciovanos (circa 1st half of 1st Century A.D.).

 Biographies: Caradoc :: 0 A.D. :: Wildfire Games
For the next ten years Epaticcus and Caradoc ruled the conquered Atrebatean lands jointly, with Caradoc being allowed to mint his own coins from Calleva.
In 35 AD Epaticcus died and in the resulting division of power by Cunobelinus Caradoc was granted his uncle’s former lands.
Verica took the opportunity to launch an attack and despite a spirited defense on the part of Caradoc some of the land was lost to the Atrebates.

 Anno Domine
Caratacus är son till Cunobelinus, en mäktig och delvis romvänlig kung över catuvellaunierna, och brorson till Epaticcus.
Caratacus antas ha varit med när Epaticcus gjorde intrång på den klart romvänlige kung Vericas domäner.
Efter Epaticcus död återtar Verica delar av de ockuperade områdena - och uppehåller så spänningen i regionen.

 Romans in Britain - The Atrebates tribe
He ruled the Atrebates for many years from the capital of Calleva before being forced out by Epaticcus, who was the brother of Cunobelin.
It would seem that Verica continued to fight his rival for some time, being forced gradually further south by his stronger opponent.
Around AD35 however, Epaticcus was either killed or died naturally, and Verica made some progress toward retaking the lands lost to the Catuvellauni.

 Administration
The coinage seems to suggest that by AD 25 the Trinovantes or Catuvellaunians (from the region that is now Hertfordshire) conquered the Atrebates, took Calleva and probably drove the Atrebates to the south, into their heartland around what is now Chichester.
Epaticcus ruled the Atrebates just before the Claudian invasion but seems to have been Trinovantian/Catuvellaunian -- at least he styled himself as the "son of Tasciovanus (a Catuvellaunian king).
His coin types sometimes combine a Trinovantes obverse (Cunobelin ear of barley type) with an Atrebatan reverse (warrior with spear).

 Coinage north of the Thames
In the mid or late 30s AD Cunobelin apparently installed Amminus, one of his sons, in Kent, where he produced a small issue of silver and bronze coinage.
Cunobelin may also have played a part in the seizure by his brother Epaticcus of the northern part of Atrebatic territory, at the same period.
Epaticcus's successor for the brief period before the Roman invasion was Cunobelin's son Caratacus, who fled to Wales with another son, Togodumnus, following the Claudian invasion.

After the death of his father Cunobelin, the majority of the Catuvellauni tribal lands fell into the hands of his elder brother Togodumnus.
Caratacus was inclined or encouraged to recapture the lands previously taken by his uncle Epaticcus, and subsequently regained by king Verica of the Atrebates.

 Cunobelin and the Catuvellaunian Supremacy - II
His coins are sufficiently common in north Kent for some scholars to suggest that he seized direct control of at least part of thekingdom of the Cantiaci.
It is indeed possible that he installed one of his sons, Adminius, in Kent just as one of his brothers, Epaticcus, seems to have been given control of the northern part of the Atrebatic kingdom.
Ironically, Adminius and Epaticcus were to be responsible for bringing about the destruction of Cunobelin's kingdom by the forces of Rome.

 The Coinage of Britain - Celtic Coins
A later successor, Tincomarus (in old books, before the correct rendition of the name was discovered, he was listed as Tincommius), issued coins circa 10 B.C. to A.D. 8., followed by Verica (circa A.D. 10 -35) and Epaticcus (A.D. The Roman prototypes of some of these later coins can be clearly distinguished.
About the same time as Tincomarus, there was a ruler of the northern Atrebates called Epillus, who issued inscribed coins from Calleva (modern Silchester).
He exercised his power through a number of petty local kings and possibly one of these, a son called Amminius, reigned briefly in Kent A.D. 38-40 before he was forced to flee to the Romans in Gaul.

This alternative title of "Arvi-ragus" for Caratacus clearly shows that the Briton kings, like the other Early Aryan and Phoenician kings, and like the well-known instances of Early Egyptian kings, were in the habit of using more than one title.
Now this dropping out of the initial letter of Caratacus' name of "Arvi" in his coins suggests that certain other Briton coins, previously ascribed to him by Camden and others, but latterly erected by Evans into coins of an otherwise unknown Briton king of the name "Epaticcus," do really belong to Caratacus after all.
The objections raised by Evans against ascribing these coins to Caratacus, and objections which are still accepted, are firstly that the letter P is not used in its Greek value of

Caligula planned an invasion of Britain in response, but called it off at the last minute.
Based on coin distribution it appears that Caratacus, following in the footsteps of his uncle Epaticcus, completed the conquest of the Atrebates, the main rival to the Catuvellauni, in the early 40s.
The Atrebatian king, Verica, fled to Rome and gave the new emperor, Claudius, a pretext to conquer Britain in 43.
