Caratacus: Briton Who Defied Rome

from The Proper British History Podcast: Kings, Queens, Wars, Empire, Politics, Revolutions, Royalty and the Historical Great Britain · host Podily

This episode examines Caratacus, the chieftain of the Catuvellauni who opposed Claudius’s invasion in AD 43. By comparing the few contemporary accounts with Roman propaganda we trace how he moved through Wales, his alliance‑battles, and his ultimate capture by Rome via Cartimandua. The story shows the limits of Roman sources and what survives about a Briton who challenged an empire. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
