 Togodumnus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Togodumnus is known only from Dio Cassius's Roman History, according to which he was a son of Cunobelinus.
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.

 Catuvellauni - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Adminius, whose power-base appears from his coins to have been in Kent, was exiled by his father shortly before AD 40 according to Suetonius, prompting the emperor Caligula to mount his abortive invasion of Britain.
No coins of Togodumnus are known, but Caratacus's rare coins suggest that he followed his uncle Epaticcus in completing the conquest of the lands of the Atrebates.
It was the exile of the Atrebatic king, Verica, that prompted Claudius to launch a successful invasion, led by Aulus Plautius, in AD Dio tells us that by this stage Cunobelinus was dead, and Togodumnus and Caratacus led the initial resistance to the invasion in Kent.

 TOGODVMNVS CATVVELLAVNVM
Togodumnus had perhaps pleaded that he himself be given rule of the Catuvellaunian heartlands from the old tribal capital Verulamium, in order not to appear ungrateful for refusing Cantium.
Togodumnus and Caratacus could hardly have acted without the druidical orders approval, therefore it must be concluded that they had secured the backing of, and were probably acting in concert with, the druids.
Togodumnus was probably in overall command of the combined British tribal army at the crucial Medway battle; his brother Caratacus presumably his 2IC.

A son of Cunobelin, therefore to Togodumnus and Caratacus.
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.
He fought at least two major battles against Aulus Plautius in 43AD and was either killed during the battle of the Medway, or died from his wounds shortly afterwards.

A substantial British force met the Romans at a river crossing thought to be near Rochester on the River Medway.

 de RES HISTORIAE ANTIQUA
The conventional translation gives that the death of Togodumnus occurred later but the text seems to state quite plainly that it was because of the death of Togodumnus and its effect on the rest of the Britons that Plautius became alarmed.
Togodumnus was a prince of Britain whose father, Cunobelin had reigned for forty years and whose patron had been Augustus himself.
If Togodumnus had died normally in a normal battle then it cannot surely have caused anything other that the normal reaction to a warrior's death, however noble.

 CARATACUS CATUVELLAUNUM
Brother Togodumnus, inherited the Catuvellaunian kingdom north of the Thames, probably because he was the eldest of the two Catuvellaunian princes.
This was possibly the undoing of Celtic Britain, as it is likely that Adminius was instrumental in pursuading the aging emperor to seek the glory he needed to firmly establish his hand at the helm of the Roman empire by conducting an expedition there.
Caratacus was highly influenced by the Druids, and both he and his brother Togodumnus were among the leading lights of the British anti-Roman faction, supported by the druidical order.
