 Caratacus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This was the excuse Claudius used to launch his invasion of Britain in 43.
A theory popularised in The Drama of the Lost Disciples, a 1961 book by the British Israelite pseudohistorian George Jowett, claims that he was a Christian before he came to Rome, and members of his family who were brought to Rome with him became important figures in the early Christian movement.
The basilica of Santa Pudenziana in Rome was supposedly once called the Palatium Britaanicus and was the home of Caratacus and his family.

Time after time, Caratacus was able to rally his people, standing up to the Romans in the only way they could: with lighting-quick strikes and deceptive troop movements.

 Romans in Britain - The Silures tribe
The reason for the Roman desire to invade and quell the Silures once and for all, was because Caratacus of the Catuvellauni had opposed the full invasion and fled to Wales after the defeat of his tribe.
After his defeat in Wales, Caratacus escaped through the lands of the Deceangi in north-eastern Wales and had sought refuge amongst the Brigantes in northern England.
The Briganties monarchy was in turmoil, and as a client of Rome, Queen Cartimandua called upon the Romas to support her cause in the civil war between her own clan and those loyal to her estranged husband, Venutius, who were unhappy with the Queen's earlier betrayal of Caratacus.
