Catus Decianus

释义

References

Catus Decianus was the procurator of Roman Britain in AD 60 or 61.^[1] Tacitus blames his "rapacity" in part for provoking the rebellion of Boudica.^[2] Cassius Dio says he confiscated sums of money which had been given by the emperor Claudius to leading Britons, declaring them to be loans to be repaid with interest.^[3]

When Boudica's army attacked Camulodunum (Colchester), the inhabitants sent to the procurator for help, but he sent only two hundred men. The city fell, and Decianus fled to Gaul,^[2] to be replaced by Gaius Julius Alpinus Classicianus.^[4] The fact that Decianus had to send men to Colchester implies that he himself was not resident there, prompting modern historians to place him in London during this period.{{Citation needed|date=April 2009}}
