  Maxima Caesariensis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Maxima Caesariensis was the name of one of the four provinces of later Roman Britain (but is not named in the surviving copies of the Verona List, dated AD Its capital was Londinium and probably encompassed what is now south east England.
Maxima Caesariensis and its northern neighbour, Flavia Caesariensis, may have briefly comprised a single province which covered most of what is now eastern England.
An alternative explanation, that the province was named after Galerius Maximianus, emperor of the east, would have to account for an eastern emperor's being honoured, while the two Augusti of the Tetrachy were not.

 Map of Early Independent Britannia
Cornubia seems to have constituted a pagus, a Roman subdivision, within the civitas of the Dumnonii, and later, as stated, a sub-kingdom for a time, before merging with Dumnonia as the latter was reduced by Saxon advances.
The whole southeast region was governed by the late 3rd century by the Comes Litoris Saxonici, Counts of the Saxon Shore, with an opposite of equal rank controlling the north in the form of Dux Britanniarum, Duke of the Britons, the last of which was Coel Hen.
Britannia Superior was created by the Romans in the 3rd century to administratively separate the south of Britain from Britannia Inferior, the militarised north (Superior, "higher" and Inferior, "lower" in the sense of nearer to, and further from, Rome itself).

Though advanced in years, and so feeble in health that he had to be carried in a litter, Severus persevered until he reached the northern limit of the island, and compelled the Caledonians to sue for peace.
Here he died, A.D. 211, whilst preparing for a second campaign against the Caledonians, who had broken their treaty, and were harassing the Roman territory to the south of them.
The governors of Maxima Cæsariensis and Valentia held consular rank; the other three were inferior dignity, and were styled præsides or presidents.

 PROVINCIAE BRITANNIAE
The Welsh tribes fared very badly under Rome, however, and aside from the Silures, who had their civitas capital at Caerwent, joined perhaps by the Demetae who were possibly represented by the vicus at Carmarthen, the majority of Wales seems to have been under military rule.
The military provinces were governed by young(ish), martially-minded men with praetorian status; Britannia Prima had two legions, the Second Augusta at Caerleon and the Twentieth at Chester, and Britannia Secunda one legion, the Sixth housed at York.
The productive, more-civilized Caesariensis provinces had no legionary forces, very few auxiliary troops, and were governed by ex-consulars possessing great legislative and judicial authority.

The first was that of Maxima Caesariensis, centered at London, and comprised roughly the eastern half of Britain below the Wash. The other, was the otherwise obscure British province of Valentia, which was probably the result of a late 4th century division of Britannia Secunda.
Not only was Kent adjoining his province, but it was part of old Maxima Caesariensis and possibly still nominally under his oversight.
It lies near what is thought to be the old boundary of the Roman provinces of Maxima Caesariensis, centered on London, and Britannia Prima further to the west, centered at Cirencester.

Interestingly, this would place the area of attempted concealment of Ambrosius well removed from old Maxima Caesariensis, where the new Saxon troubles where brewing and where Vortigern may have tried to route out followers of Aurelius Ambrosius.
But, it also locates him in an area where the Roman way of life and traditions carried on for a considerable length of time; up to the early 6th century.
This defensive policy proved both successful and enduring, securing a measure of peace and prosperity to the British lowlands and over much of what had been the old Roman province of Maxima Caesariensis.
