Romans usually enslaved and killed the people they conquered - such as the Celts in Britannia - even if the people were willing to adopt Roman laws and customs.

The Roman government encouraged conquered tribes and nations to manage their own affairs.

Queen Boudica of the Iceni tribe in Britannia was famous for her loyalty to then Romans.

Boudica's rebellion came to a swift end because the Iceni were vastly outnumbered by Roman forces and the Roman governor was close by at the time.

Roman armies were especially terrified of Boudica because she was a woman with open political and military power.

Due to their experiences with Boudica's rebels, the Romans did not accept help from any other Celtic queens, even when Queen Cartimandua offered to hand over a rebel king to them.

Unlike Salvius and Caecilius, the British King Cogidubnus is a fictional character who did not really exist.

One of the most important pieces of evidence about Cogidubnus' life is the inscription on the cornerstone of a building.

Even though Cogidubnus had supported the Romans during the invasion of AD 43, his territory was reduced and he was not allowed to collect Roman taxes or maintain public order in his kingdom.

Romans encouraged the people they conquered to worship Roman gods and to consider the Roman Emperor a god to be worshiped.

The Romans built a new capital city for Cogidubnus, renamed his tribes, and probably built a huge palace nearby for him. (See page 68.)

Due to an inscription containing his name, it has been proven that the giant palace uncovered at Fishbourne belonged to Cogidubnus. (See p. 68.)
