English: A golden aureus of Claudius (RIC I Claudius 44), from engravings illustrating the history of Great Britain by John Speed.
Speed's note states "(5) The Britaines that mistrusted no such sudden inuasion, and now thus surprised unawares, dispersedly secured themselues in woods and marishes, thereby to detract time, and the more to weary the Enemy by delaies: which thing Plautius well perceiued, and with much labour and hazard followed so extreamly, that many he slew, and tooke prisoner Catacratus their Captaine, the son of Cunobeline but lately deceased, which brought such terrour amongst the Britains, that thereupon the BODVNI, the inhabitants of Oxford and Glocestershires, yeelded themselues to Plautius deuotion: for which seruice thus effected, the Senate decreed his Triumphs; and it is probable that this defeat of the Britaine forces, and surprise of their King, fell out in the sixt yeare of his Emperours raigne, by the reuerse of his money then minted with a triumphall arch and inscription, De Britann: as aboue is seene." The image later appeared in garbled form in Camden's Britannia. |
