Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Temple of Claudius (Templum Claudii) or Temple of the Deified Claudius (Templum Divi Claudii) built in Camulodunum (Roman Colchester) sometime after the Roman conquest of Britain in AD 43, although it is not certain whether it was built before or after Claudius' death and deification in AD 54. In AD 60 or 61, during Boudica's uprising, Camulodunum (Colchester) was laid to siege. The town had been left in the hands of old Roman veterans, and this lack of manpower combined with the prospect of destroying a major Roman town, gave the Icenic force a chance to take revenge. Boudica's army fell on the poorly defended city and destroyed it, besieging the last defenders in the temple for two days before it fell.
