(詳細はRoman conquest of Britain led in person by the Emperor Claudius in 43CE a Legionary fortress was established at ''Camulodunon'', the Iron Age capital of the Trinovantes and Catuvellauni tribes.〔 This fortress was later converted into a town for retired soldiers in 49CE,〔Crummy, Philip (1984) Colchester Archaeological Report 3: Excavations at Lion Walk, Balkerne Lane, and Middleborough, Colchester, Essex. Published by Colchester Archaeological Trust (ISBN 0-9503727-4-9)〕 and was renamed ''Camulodunum'', a Latin rendition of the Celtic name of the site.〔 The town was the capital of the new province of Britannia,〔 and had several public building befitting its status.〔 These included a theatre, a ''curia'' (council chamber), forum and a large classical-style Temple.〔〔 Construction of the Temple began during Claudius' reign, and was dedicated to him after his death in 54CE,〔〔 with the official name of the town becoming "Colonia Claudia Victricensis" (''The City of Claudius' Victory'') and the Temple becoming the "Templum Divi Claudii" (''The Temple of the Deified Claudius'').〔 The Temple was the centre for the Imperial Cult in the province, as is mentioned in Seneca's First Century book the Apocolocyntosis, in which he mocks the British for their piety towards the deceased Claudius.〔Intro to Petronius – The Satyricon/Seneca – The Apocolocyntosis (1986) Published by Penguin Classics.
