 | | While the Roman Governor of Britain, Gaius Suetonius Paulinus, was campaigning in Wales, the Iceni revolted, allied with the neighbouring Trinovantes, whose former Capital, Camulodunum (Colchester) was now a colony for Roman veterans, with a temple to the former emperor Claudius, built at local expense. |
 | | Suetonius raced to Londinium (London), but, concluding he did not have the numbers to defend it, evacuated the city. |
 | | Suetonius was relieved of the governorship and replaced by the more conciliatory Publius Petronius Turpilianus. |
