Topic: Tiberius Claudius Cogidubnus


In the News (Fri 27 Nov 09)

  
  Regnenses at AllExperts
The ruler of the kingdom was Tiberius Claudius Cogidubnus: Tacitus says "quaedam civitates Cogidumno regi donatae (certain civitates were given to King Cogidubnus)" and remarks on his loyalty.
Cogidubnus may have been a relative of Verica, the Atrebatian king whose overthrow was the excuse for the conquest.
Likewise, the theory that Cogidubnus was created legatus, a rank only ever given to senators, is based on reconstructing the damaged Chichester inscription to read as Cogidubni regis legati Augusti in Britannia ("king and imperial legate in Britain").

 Tiberius Claudius Cogidubnus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tiberius Claudius Cogidubnus (or Togidubnus) was a 1st century king of the Regnenses in early Roman Britain.
The inscription adds "Tiberius Claudius" to his name, indicating that he was given Roman citizenship by the emperor Claudius, or possibly by Nero, and gives him the titles "Rex" (king) and "Legatus Augusti" (imperial governor or commander).
Cogidubnus may therefore have been an heir of Verica, the Atrebatian king whose overthrow prompted the Roman conquest.

Tiberius Claudius Cogidubnus (or Togidubnus) was a 1st century king of the RegnensesThe Regnenses or Regni is a British Celtic kingdom formed only after the Roman invasion of Britain, located in modern West Sussex.
He is usually referred to as "Cogidubnus" to avoid confusion with his near-contemporary Togodumnus of the Catuvellauni The Catuvellaunii (meaning probably good in battle) were one of the Celtic tribes living in the British Isles, before the Roman invasion of Britain.

 Science Fair Projects - Tiberius Claudius Cogidubnus
Tiberius Claudius Cogidubnus (or Togidubnus) was appointed king of the Regnenses, a southern British tribe, following the Roman invasion of Britain in 43 AD.
He is known from a brief mention by Tacitus, and an inscription on an altar dedicated to Neptune and Minerva found in Chichester, and he has been linked with the Roman villa at Fishbourne.
Cogidubnus is his British name; his two Roman names indicate he was given Roman citizenship by the emperor Claudius.

 Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Fishbourne Roman Palace
The most widely accepted theory, proposed by Professor Cunliffe, is that the palace was the residence of Tiberius Claudius Cogidubnus, a pro-Roman local chieftain who was installed as king of a number of territories following the first stage of the conquest.
Cogidubnus is known from a reference to his loyalty in Tacitus's Agricola, and from an inscribed altar found in nearby Chichester.
The palace outlasted Cogidubnus and was extensively re-planned in the 2nd century.

 The Palace at Fishbourne
Cogidubnus was a member of the family, who ruled the Atrebates tribe, which was later renamed the Regnenses or ‘People of the Kingdom’ after the Roman invasion.
It was believed that he was granted all of the privileges of a Roman citizen and allowed to add the Emperor’s name onto his own to become Tiberius Claudius Cogidubnus as a ‘client king’, due to the support he and his tribe provided to the Romans.
Some scholars believe that Cogidubnus died prior to the construction of the palace, but the belief that the palace was built as a reward to Cogidubnus for all that he had done for the Romans is widely accepted.

The reasons behind the invasion of the emperor Claudius I in ad 43 are complex.
The legions crossed from Boulogne in late spring and established a base at Richborough, Kent, from which they fought their way north to the Thames; Togodumnus was killed in a skirmish but Caratacus fought on.
Plautius followed instructions, sending for Claudius, who arrived around the beginning of September and was able to stage an entry to the enemy capital, Camulodunum.

The cognomen 'Britannicus' was awarded to Claudius by the Roman senate for his conquest of Britain in AD 43: it was one of their highest honours granted for some remarkable achievement.
Claudius did not celebrate his triumph and associated honours until AD 44, so the temple to Neptune and Minerva would have been dedicated between then and his death in AD 54, with the earlier period more likely when ‘Britannicus’ still referred to Claudius.
Yet Claudius had conquered Britain and was therefore part of the imperial thread which ran through the development of Fishbourne Roman Palace: he had needed to consolidate his new and unexpected position as emperor by some major achievement, and he succeeded incredibly well.

Accordingly, lowland Britain was swift to accept the new situation after Claudius' invasion, while Roman imperialism pressed on into Wales and by the end of the first century AD towards the north of Scotland, to complete the conquest and to search for elusive local wealth.
A notable example is Tiberius Claudius Cogidubnus, whose kingdom in the Hampshire region was established and enhanced by Rome and who was accorded the title rex magnus (great king), for all the minimality of his power.
Like Cogidubnus and the other Rome-friendly kings, Prasutagus had received Roman citizenship (with the remarkable but probable consequence that his wife Boudica was also made a Roman citizen).

There were four wings arranged around a formal garden, with colonnades, halls, and magnificently decorated rooms of Mediterranean workmanship and design.
Fishbourne may have been the palace of Cogidubnus, a client king who fostered the early Romanization of his territory.
In honor of the emperor who had granted him citizenship, he adopted the name Tiberius Claudius Cogidubnus, and "maintained," as Tacitus records, "his unswerving loyalty down to our own times." Fishbourne probably was built in recognition of that devotion.

It is tempting to wonder what client king Tiberius Claudius Cogidubnus would make of the developments at his 'palace' at Fishbourne, where the remains of the fabulous floors and buildings that he had made are now being transformed into a state-of-the-art museum.
But he might be pleased to know that the walls of his home are now magically rising again, as the iconic 1960s building in which the remains of the palace have been housed is given a look that will simulate the villa as it was when he built it in the the first century AD.
Tiberius Claudius Cogidubnus was a client king, a native king who served Rome, and the record of his later illustrious title, legatus augusti (legate to the emporer) can be seen set into the walls of the Assembly rooms in Chichester, near where it was found in 1723.

The Atrebatian king, Verica, fled to Rome and gave the new emperor, Claudius, a pretext to conquer Britain in 43.
Togodumnus is nearly contemporary with Tiberius Claudius Cogidubnus (or Togidubnus), a pro-Roman king of the Regnenses in the period after the Roman conquest, who is known from Tacitus's Agricola and an inscription found in Chichester.
However the sources do not support this: according to Dio, Togodumnus was killed in 43, while Tacitus says that Cogidubnus remained loyal to Rome into the later part of the 1st century, and his inscription dates after 79.

Cogidubnus was the king of the Regnii who were north of the Thames and into Wiltshire but he may have had association with the Dobunni if his name was Tog Y Dobunni or King of the Dobunni.
It may well be that the children of Cogidubnus, Prasotagus and Marius were all retained in Rome at the House of the Britons and educated there probably as a security for their parents’ fidelity.

If Cogidubnus was a client king of Rome, as is apparently evidenced, he would have been allowed to issue his own coinage.
This practice is not unique to Cogidubnus in post-Celtic Britain, for king Prasutagus of the Iceni tribe from Norfolk was another client of Rome, and is known also to have produced his own coinage after the AD43 invasion.
It is quite likely that Cogidubnus was the descendant and probable heir of king Verica of the Atrebates, a king known by his coinage to be pro-Roman in attitude, who was forced to flee to the protection of Rome c.
