Script by Jacquetta Hawkes.
One of the greatest of the British kings of the pre-Roman Iron Age was Cunobelin, better known as Cymbeline from Shakespeare's incorrect version of his name.

The Emperor Claudius came to Cumulodunum in person after his defeat of Cunobelin's son Caradoc (Caractacus) in A.D. 43. Twenty-eight years later Queen Boudicca (Boadicca) there led her rebel forces against the Roman colonists
