page 5 note 9 Nero did eventually withdraw a legion from Britain for an Eastern project (Tac Hist. i. 6).

page 5 note 10 Tac. Ann. xiii. 50.

page 5 note 11 C.I.L. vii. 11; Tac. Agr. 14. 2. If a legatus, Cogidumnus ought (in spite of Anderson in ed., p. 80) to have been adlectus in senatum. I.L.S. 1072 (if the order of the cursus on the stone is the true order of the career) of c. A.D. 150 seems the only example of a legatus who is not a senator, and it is not really a parallel. Surely only Claudius could have done some thing so eccentric.

page 5 note 12 C.I.L. vii. 12 = E.E. iii, p. 114 = ib. ix, p. 513. C.I.L. vii. 11 could well be contemporary, for the domus divina formula can be as old as Tiberius (Anderson, I.c.). And Romans at the court of Cogidumnus would be especially nervous!

page 5 note 13 Excavations at Ridgehanger, Hampshire, shire, reported in Proc. Hants Field Club (forthcoming).

page 5 note 14 Dio lxii.2. 1. Was that why the procurator too demanded back the money that Claudius had given to Britons (? including Cogidumnus) ?

page 6 note 1 Tac. Ann. xiv. 29. We must not forget that Veranius had a certain military reputation; Onesander dedicated his tactical treatise to him (praef. I).
