The Trinovantes or Trinobantes were one of the Celtic tribes that lived in pre-Roman Britain.
The next identifiable king of the Trinovantes, known from numismatic evidence, was Addedomarus, who took power ca.
10 BC Tasciovanus of the Catuvellauni issued coins from Camulodunum, suggesting that he conquered the Trinovantes, but he was soon forced to withdraw, perhaps as a result of pressure from the Romans, as his later coins no longer bear the mark "Rex", and Addedomarus was restored.

It is possible that the Trinovantes were one of only two British tribes knew of Caesar's intentions to cross the channel to Britain and so sent out ambassadors to the Romans in Gaul in an attempt to ensure they would be well treated should the Roman army invade and take over Britain.

At the time of Julius Caesar 's invasion of Britain, the Trinovantes were ruled by Cassivellaunus, chief of the Catuvellauni, who had apparently deposed the father of Mandubracius at some time prior to the Roman invasion.
Notes: Prince Mandubracius was exiled after the death of his father to Gaul by the Catuvellauni, where he joined Caesar and accompanied him on his second expedition to Britain in 54BC.
The town became the site of the first Roman Legionary Fortress in Britain, and was later to become the first Roman colonia in the province, both establishments were self-administrating and were allocated a large proportion of the original Trinovantian tribal territories.

 Trinovantes tribe in pre-Roman Britain (Trinobates)
The expulsion of a Trinovantes prince by Cassevellaunus of the Catevellauni was the pretext for Caesar's invasion in 55BCE.
The Trinovantes saw the Roman invasion as an opportunity to strike back at their northern rivals and they were quick to join with Caesar and strike against the might of the Catevellauni.
The Trinovantes enjoyed the fruits of cooperation with the Romans until the loss of tribal territory to Roman settlers caused the Trinovantes to join with the Iceni revolt under Boudicca (Boadicea) in 61AD, and the colonia of Camulodunum was burned to the ground.

Cassivellaunus, who led the resistance to Julius Caesar's first expedition to Britain in 54 BC, is often taken to have belonged to the Catuvellauni.
His tribal background is not mentioned by Caesar, but his territory, north of the Thames and to the west of the Trinovantes, corresponds to that later occupied by the Catuvellauni.
He appears to have expanded his power at the expense of the Trinovantes to the east, as some of his coins, ca 15-10 BC, were minted in their capital Camulodunum (modern Colchester).

The fort was probably built in the 5th century BC and still in good enough condition to be used as a fort by the Saxons several hundred years later.
The invasion of Britain in AD 43 was fiercely resisted by the Trinovantes who were subject to harsh rule by the Romans in comparison to more favourable treatment on neighbouring tribes who surrendered to the Romans.
The treatment was so harsh that in AD 60 the Trinovantes and the Iceni under Queen Boudicca revolted and destroyed the depleted 9th Roman Division before sacking Camulodunum (Colchester).

Whether it was the proud and vengeful Trinovantes, the powerful and warlike Catuvellauni or the brooding, riven, Brigantes, the British tribal wars have much to offer the gamer who wants to try something a little different.
In the south-east, the warlike Trinovantes, holding lands from Essex to east Hertfordshire, were consistently pressured by the ambitious and aggressive Catuvellauni.
The Trinovantes were considered to be one of the strongest tribes in Britain and yet the rise of the Catuvellauni eclipsed even them.

 Addedomarus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Addedomarus (sometimes written Aθθedomarus on coins) was a king of south-eastern Britain in the late 1st century BC.
His name is known only from his inscribed coins, the distribution of which seem to indicate that he was the ruler of the Trinovantes.
He was the first king to produce inscribed coins north of the Thames, perhaps as early as 35 BC, although some estimates are as late as 15 BC.

In the meantime, the Trinovantes, another powerful people, occupying what is now Essex, and part of Middlesex, sent envoys to Caesar to announce their submission.
Mandubratius, the son of their former king Imanuentius, had fled for refuge to Caesar, in order to escape the fate of his father, who had been killed by Cassivellaunus in the course of his conquests over his neighbours.
The example of the Trinovantes was speedily followed by other tribes living along the course of the Thames.

Addedomaros becomes king of the Trinovantes and moves his centre of government from the eastern headwaters of the river Lea to a new site on the east coast, known later as Camulodunum (Colchester).
The Iceni (and the Trinovantes) are fully subdued and incorporated within the Roman provincial government infrastructure, It is several decades before the Icenian peoples recover from their near-annihilation, and the tribes of south-eastern Britain never again rise against Rome.

In addition, had the Trinovantes somehow survived the Romans, another potential threat would have been the massive influx of Germanic Tribes which occurred around the time of the cessation of Roman government in Britain (AD 410).
This Saxon infusion led to land of the Trinovantes becoming known as the Kingdom of the East Saxons (in abbreviated form; Essex) and Camulodunum assuming a Saxon name, Colchester (possibly meaning Colne Stronghold/Fortress or perhaps Colonia Fortress) [Martin 58].
Whatever the Trinovantes fate, their impressive fortifications, graves and trinkets remain as a reminder of their past domination of this region.

Where it feels as if Trinovantes is spinning their wheels for the first few seconds of “Peace By Piece”, a very driving guitar/drum combination found in the middle of the track does a lot to bring the rest of the band on board.
The first track is almost destined for the radio but suffers from too many of these “down time” sections that essentially see Trinovantes closing up shop for a few seconds before going back into their hard brand of rock.
There seems to be a worldwide flair to the barely two minutes of “Majestic”; the heavily distorted guitars stop and start where Trix’s vocals have the same sort of tenor and spontaneity that is more applicable to artists like Puffi Ami Yumi and other j-rockers.

60/61) was a queen of the Iceni of early Roman Britain who led her people and a number of others, including the neighbouring Trinovantes, in a major uprising against the occupying Roman forces during the reign of the emperor Nero.
The Roman Empire is the term conventionally used to describe the Ancient Roman polity in the centuries following its reorganization under the leadership of Octavian (better known as Caesar Augustus), until its radical reformation in what was later to be known as the Byzantine Empire.
In 60 or 61, while the current governor, Gaius Suetonius Paulinus, was leading a campaign against the druids on the island of Anglesey in north Wales, the Iceni rebelled, along with their neighbours the Trinovantes, under Boudicca's leadership.

 Romans in Britain - The causes of the Boudiccan rebellion
The Trinovantes, to the south of the Iceni, had more cause to detest the Romans than any of their neighbours.
The Trinovantes' capital, Camuldonum (Colchester) had been overrun by the Romans and was increasingly being used as a colonia for retired soldiers.
Members of the tribe who had lived there for much of their lives, found themselves homeless as the Romans destroyed the homes of the natives and built new accommodation for their own kind.

The Trinovantes are the first British tribe to be mentioned by a Roman author, appearing in Caesar's account of his invasion of 54 BC.
Already at this early date they seem to have been involved in a power struggle with the neighbouring tribes to the west who were to be forged into the kingdom of the Catuvellauni under Tasciovanus.
After the Roman Conquest, the Trinovantes were restored as tribal entity in the form of a civitas (an administrative unit or county) within the new Roman Province.

Cubobelin, also known under the Welsh name of Cymbeline, was the son of Tasciovanus, king of the Catuvellauni, and father of Adminius, Togodumnus and Caratacus.
During the last years of his father's reign, he invaded the territory of the Trinovantes and subdued them, probably prompted by the news of Rome's loss of Varus' three legions in Germany in AD 9, and therefore fairly confident that his action would go unpunished.
He continued to rule over the Trinovantes from Camulodunum and retained his seat of government there when he succeeded to the Catuvellaunian throne upon the death of Tasciovanus in circa AD 10.

King Imanuentus of the Trinovantes was born circa 95 BC.
Conquered by the Romans in AD 43, the Trinovantes revolted unsuccessfully in 60 or 61 in alliance with Boudicca (Boadicea), queen of Iceni.
Nothing more is known of them, but in medieval legends and romances, their name is connected with the legendary Trojans Brutus and Corineus, who were supposed to have given their names to Britain and Cornwall.
