		Henig believes the baths and temple complex were built by order of Togidubnus, the most important political leader of tribal Britain and king of the Atretabes tribe of what is now the county of Sussex in southern England.
		Togidubnus was pro-Roman and benefitted from the conquest in A.D. His residence at a magificent villa at Fishbourne was a reward for his loyalty to Rome and friendship with Vespasian.
		The temple at Bath was dedicated to Minerva, the virgin goddess of wisdom, another shrewd move by Togidubnus, as she was one of Vespasian's favorite deities, which is revealed by classical sources and Roman coins of his reign.

		There is still a prospect of finding further archaeology, and a team of volunteers and professional archaeologists is involved in a continuing research excavation on the site of military buildings that are believed to have stood close to the main building.
		The most widely accepted theory is that the palace was the residence of Togidubnus[?], a local chieftain who became a client king, ie.
		The building of the palace is believed to have begun shortly after the Roman invasion of 43AD, and was carried out in phases.

		The theory is that Togidubnus was a relative of Verica - the Atrebatic leader who may have persuaded Claudius to invade Britain.
		The Atrebates were very pro Roman, and the youthful Togidubnus was established as client king of the Atrebates, during which time he would have come into contact with Vespasian.
		Togidubnus' men possibly fought alongside the Roman troops in the decisive battle against Boudicca, in AD61, which resulted in his area of influence being increased.

		No one can answer the details of whether Togidubnus was already the local ruler, or whether he was inserted as a puppet ruler.
		Tiberius Claudius Togidubnus may also help to explain why he held the title of "Great King in Britain", for this is one the Roman state used when describing his father Cunobelinus.
		I have recently received an email about the Togidubnus new spelling of the chap we all knew of as Cogidubnus until recently.

		Not only was Verica's successor Togidubnus (or Cogidubnus) master of an expanded realm, building palaces and temples, but he and other contemporary leaders were fostering the growth of self-governing towns.
		For Togidubnus, the immediate result was the augmentation of his realm, as recorded by Tacitus, probably towards the West, including the lands around Bath.
		I believe he was contemptuous of upwardly-mobile Celts such as Togidubnus, and resentful of the fact that the British king had done more for Rome during the Boudiccan crisis than Tacitus's father-inlaw Agricola, who as military tribune in 60-61 had little influence on events.

	The Development of Roman Villas in Sussex
		According to Tacitus, the king remained loyal to the Romans for a long time, and it is clear from archaeological evidence from Sussex that during his reign he was fairly successful in introducing elements of Roman culture into his kingdom – the famous temple dedication found in Chichester being an impressive example.
		In addition to the generally widespread acceptance and the distribution of products of Roman manufacture, such as coins and pottery, various other archaeological discoveries in Sussex also shed light on the processes of romanisation during the period of the client kingdom, especially so in Chichester which was clearly developing as a romanised centre.
		Following the death or retirement of King Togidubnus his extensive kingdom was integrated into the Roman province of Britannia and probably divided into three regional tribal units or civitates, to which various administrative functions were delegated.

		The mosaic floors, in remarkable condition, are reminders of the cool palatial quarters where guests would have gathered for preprandial drinks or a perhaps an audience with the king.
		Historians now believe that Togidubnus was a high-born Briton educated in Rome, brought back to Fishbourne and installed as a pro-Roman puppet.
		Just as Washington's elite private schools are full of the "pro-western" Arab kings, South American presidents or African leaders of the future, so Rome took in the heirs of the conquered nations' top families, preparing them for lives as rulers in Rome's interest.

		The famous villas with many mosaics are exceptional in every way and should be compared with great houses of more recent times, such as Audley End, in Essex, or Blenheim Palace, in Oxfordshire.
		The villa at Fishbourne, in West Sussex, dating from the 1st century, was possibly the palace of a local “client” king called Cogidubnus (or, more probably, Togidubnus).
		Those at Bignor, also in West Sussex, and at Woodchester, in Gloucestershire, were the centres in the 4th century of great country estates belonging to magnates whose funds surely came from more than several square kilometres of land.

	Togidubnus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Shortly after the turn of the new millennium the territory was unified again under Verica, who ruled for several decades until, under extreme pressure from the expansionist Catuvellauni, from north of the Thames, he was forced to flee to Rome to plea for military assistance; this was in about AD 42.
		Following the success of the Roman invasion, their emperor, Claudius, restored the old Atrebatic kingdom as a client state under a new king, Togidubnus (or Cogidubnus), a Romanised native who was probably a member of the old Atrebatic dynasty.
		Evidence that the new town at Chichester was his capital is given by an inscription found in 1723 and now on display in the Assembly Rooms in North Street.

		The origins of the Palace are unclear although the main theory is Togidubnus, King of the Atrebates tribe, was responsible for its construction.
		Togidubnus was a Client King (see 47AD) and his kingdom was expanded following the Roman settlement in the area.
		Following the death of Togidubnus (at some point between 75 and 80AD) his lands came under Roman control.

		Partly because of existing strong links with Gaul and partly due to the rise of a new ruler (Togidubnus) Chichester and the surrounding area became an important centre in the period just prior to the Roman invasion and also served as one of the bases for the Roman invasion itself.
		Because of the aid afforded to the Romans by Togidubnus Chichester and the surrounding area became a client kingdom rather than a direct part of the Roman province of Britannia (until Togidubnus' death at least).
		With the passing of Togidubnus the territory of the Atrebates was split into three separate civitae with the Regni being the civitas centred on Chichester that administered West Sussex.

		The granting of Roman citizenship to any non-Roman was at first a rare distinction, and in the decade of the Roman conquest the only Britons who possessed it were probably a few favoured pro-Roman aristocrats like Togidubnus.
		Increasingly, however, Britons acquired it by serving on town councils or through service in the auxiliary regiments of the army where, on retirement after 25 years' service, a veteran would receive a diploma on a bronze tablet awarding him citizenship and bestowing the same status on his wife and children.
