Summary: We are rocking through about 100 years of history… from about 54 BCE to 42 CE, and we will cover the events that eventually lead to the Roman Occupation of Britannia. The major characters of this episode will be…. Octavius Augustus - the First Emperor of Rome Caligula - one of Rome’s more colorful Emperors. Cassius Chaerea - The Commander of the Praetorian Guard Claudius - One of the more underestimated emperors in Roman history Caractacus - Leader of the Catuvellauni, son of Cunobellinus, and all around tough Celt. Verica - Son of Commius, King of the Atrebates, and Roman ally. When we last left off, Caesar left Britannia… and he might have regretted that. Or at the very least, he probably regretted a few things he did once he got to Rome because things didn’t end too well for him. Whatever his personal feelings about his two invasions might have been, when he left, he was able to claim he was victorious over the Britons… and he set the legal precedent for further invasions and annexation. However, life got in the way and he never got the chance to become Britannicus.
