page 207 note 3 C.I.L. vii. 11. Hübner (loc. cit.) inclines to regard the Cogidubnus of the Goodwood inscription as the son of the client-prince of Tacitus, relying apparently on the Flavian date of the monument. This seems unnecessary. (1) Cogidubnus seems to have lived on into Flavian times: Tacitus says ‘is fidelissimus ad nostrum memoriam remansit’; i.e. he probably lived on into Agricola's governorship. (2) Why bestow extraordinary titles on the son when the need for conciliation was far less than before? (3) The names ‘ Tiberius Claudius’ surely point back to the Claudian period.

page 208 note 1 Colchester itself seems to have been stormed (Cassius Dio lx. 21 and Suet. v. 21). Some writers place several battles between the crossing of Thames and the taking of Colchester; but Dio (loc. cit.) distinctly puts the salutations as Imperator after the capture of the city.
