Historical background


ATREBATES AND REGNI - EPATICCUS

(35-43)

Epaticcus seems to have belonged to the entourage or family of Cunobeline (10-40) of the Trinovantes and Catuvellauni. He introduced himself as a son of Tasciovanus, therefore possibly Cunobeline's brother. Little by little, he overflowed into the territory of the Atrebates and Regni of Verica (10-40) who had succeeded Épillus. In 40, Verica was deposed and took refuge in Rome, claiming the help of the Romans in order to restore it. After his death in 43, Claude decided to invade Brittany. Epaticcus was overthrown and Caratacus succeeded him.
